Chapter 41: Moving Forward

That's really ...... Red Bean muttered, "The sun is coming out in the west." ”

Although Qiao Ran didn't speak, the expression on her face was also stunned, she looked at the invitation in her hand, and said to Zhang Jie: "This invitation didn't say it was for me. ”

This is an invitation that does not indicate the recipient, not that she thinks too much, but thinks about Miss Li's attitude towards her at that time, and today's Jinling City, her attitude towards her is still referred to as a "broom star", ordinary people are still like this, not to mention such exquisite magnates, I think the Li family's tea party will not invite ordinary people, what will she do when she is invited? In case someone falls and touches her, maybe she will be blamed for the "broom star" again.

"Li Saburo personally handed it over to me, there should be no fake." Zhang Xie looked at her, "Do you want to go to the tea party?" ”

Zhang Xie is not a man of many words, Qiao Ran hesitated for a moment and looked at him: "Do you think I should go?" ”

If he thought she shouldn't go, he wouldn't have said anything more.

Zhang Xie smiled and said to her, "You won't stay in Xuanzhen Temple for a lifetime, it's okay to go down the mountain and walk," he said, glancing at the direction of Xuanzhen Temple, and said, "I won't forget what I promised you, I will come over in the next few days." ”

"The Li family came to the door at this time, and I was worried that it had something to do with the secret on me." Qiao Ran has not been dizzy by the praise of red beans, she doesn't really think that people like Li San will be fascinated by her "beauty".

"But it's really time to check it out." Without waiting for Zhang Xie to answer, Qiao Ran made a decision, if she didn't contact the Li family, she wouldn't know what medicine was sold in the Li family's gourd.

After chatting and chatting, it started to rain, Qiao Ran asked Hongdou to go to the house to get an umbrella, and Zhang Xie was time to go back.

The two of them stood under the eaves, watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, Qiao Ran was staring at this drifting heavy rain, and suddenly heard Zhang Jie's voice sound.

"Do you want to see your biological father?"

As soon as Qiao Ran wanted to reply "I don't want to", a strange emotion surged up in her body, and that kind of emotion made her heart ache, and a complex emotion of resentment mixed with admiration surged into her heart. She knew that this was the instinctive reaction of this body, this was the emotion of the original owner, and perhaps in the bottom of her heart, she still longed for her father's love, but this emotion did not exist here in Qiao Ran.

She gasped, suppressed the pain in her heart, and shook her head at Zhang Jie: "I don't want to." After blurting out a sentence of "I don't want to", her body was loosened, and the shackles of instinct seemed to disappear, she closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she said in a cold tone, "Maybe I'm dead!" ”

This reaction was enough to show her attitude towards this biological father, and Zhang Xie did not speak again.

Hongdou also walked out with an umbrella, handed it to Zhang Jie, and then told him: "Aunt ......" After receiving Qiao Ran's eyes, she quickly changed her words, "Zhang Gongzi, remember to return the umbrella!" ”

Zhang Xie smiled and nodded, and after thanking them, he looked at Qiao Ran again and said to her: "I have something to do in the past few days, and I won't come here after the diagnosis, if you are in a hurry, go to Pei Mansion to find Xu Hexiu and Xie Chengze." ”

Qiao Ran understood, and said, "I know", "If there is an emergency", it can be seen that if it is not a hundred thousand urgent matters, it is better not to trouble them in the next few days.

Zhang Xie took the umbrella and walked into the rain curtain, his posture was jade, he was also walking, he was not in a hurry, his steps were calm, but he walked out of a taste of ink and water, and the two watched his back go away, until they could no longer see it, Hongdou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still Miss has a good eye, this aunt ...... Zhang Gongzi is really good! ”

Qiao Ran was silent.

Hongdou retracted his gaze, and his face immediately wrinkled: "That Li family, do we really want to go?" ”

"Go, of course." Qiao Ran handed the invitation to Hongdou and instructed her, "Tomorrow is the tea party, remember to inform the coachman in advance." ”

Hongdou snorted, and hurriedly ran into the house: "Those people at the tea party must compete for beauty, Miss can't lose to them, the slave maid has a skirt that is almost ready, Ming'er will wear that new skirt!" ”

Qiao Ran didn't care about this: "It's okay, just don't make a mistake in what you wear." "Who is she, there are few people in Jinling City who don't know, and no matter how well she dresses, she can't change the opinion of others.

The rain fell all night, and by the early morning of the next day it had stopped.

"This Li family really knows how to choose a day, and they also choose a good weather." Hongdou looked at the sun and sighed, heard the sound of movement in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, and at first glance saw Qiao Ran in a wide-sleeved Luo skirt, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said dumbfounded: "Miss is so good-looking." ”

Qiao Ran didn't feel anything, maybe she wasn't a person who paid too much attention to appearance, maybe she was worried about what might happen when she went to Li's house for a while, and she just glanced at herself in the mirror and stopped thinking.

In fact, until this time, Qiao Ran was still a little hesitant to go to the Li family, but this hesitation was quickly replaced by firmness: she didn't dare to go to the Li family, so what would she do in the future?

She thought about things in her heart, so she let Hongdou dress her up, took the rouge and swept it on her cheeks, and then red her lips, and then got up and walked out with the fence.

Although Zhang Xie had not yet appeared in Xuanzhen Temple at this time, the people waiting in line for medical treatment outside the view had already lined up at the foot of the mountain, and seeing the crowds in the open space outside the view, Hongdou was anxious: "I told the coachman, let him wait for us in the east corner, how can I ......" At present, there is only a group of worried women talking in the east corner, and there is no shadow of the coachman at all.

When he was anxious, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Is this Miss Qiao?" ”

Qiao Ran and Hongdou turned around and saw that it was a man who was dressed in a good manner, and when they turned around, the man hurriedly handed over the waist card on his body: "The little one is the steward of the Loei Mansion, and the third prince ordered the little one to pick up Miss Qiao." ”

Hongdou snorted coldly when she heard this: Now you know how to please her young lady? Still not coveting the beauty of her young lady? But now they are not rare, they have an uncle, no, Zhang Gongzi.

Qiao Ran called "Red Bean", shook her head at Red Bean, successfully stopped the "refusal" that Red Bean was about to export, and then nodded lightly to the man: "Let's go!" ”

It is not necessarily a good thing to have people from Loei to pick up, I want to know that today's tea party is full of distinguished guests, they sit in the carriage of Xuanzhenguan, and not to mention, they will be recognized as soon as they pass, and they will be recognized by people as soon as they pass, and they will not be able to point out for a while, just say that for the distinguished guests who pay attention to pomp, such a carriage is really a little shabby, not every distinguished guest is of good character, and there are always some people who are full and have nothing to do and like to make fun of others.

More is better than less, and since Li Zhao handed over the invitation to her through Zhang Jie's hand, he had the intention of informing Zhang Xie and promising Zhang Xie that nothing would happen to her in the Li family.

Before he reacted, thinking about Li Zhao's actions at this time, Qiao Ran understood the deep meaning of Li Zhao's every move more and more. sighed in my heart: If he is really a smart person, and he is a thoughtful smart person, in other words, it is not without reason that he can stand out in the Li family's generation. Judging from prejudices, this person can indeed be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, no wonder my aunt was moved and willing to hand over her secret.

The carriage that came to pick her up from Loei was parked not far away, and the coachman was already waiting there, compared to the carriage of Xuanzhenguan, this carriage can be regarded as spacious and luxurious, and there are a few small ones in the room, and there are a few dry dishes on the small table, and two books for them to use to relieve their boredom.

Hongdou glanced at the things arranged in the carriage and snorted: "Yo, this Li Sangongzi is still very thoughtful!" Although it is a compliment, the tone is a little weird, and it is inevitable that people will not think about it.

This girl is more and more good at pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, especially for the Li family, this ability seems to be self-taught.

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Then let's thank you to the third prince of Li!" With that, he took a step back and saluted the coachman who was waiting.

What the? Red Bean's mouth opened wide, and his face was full of astonishment as he watched the chauffeur in gray and his hat look up.
