Chapter 315: Sister-in-law
Chu Junlan smiled and quipped: "What do you say about the gathering, it's just for blind dates, I just went to accompany my mother, the important thing is Sister Xi and Brother Zhan." ”
Xu scratched the bridge of her nose: "If Sister Xi listens to this nonsense, see if she is not in a hurry with you?" ”
Chu Junlan pursed his lips and smiled.
Juya will be opened in the Anluhou Mansion as usual, because of the lack of peace, major events continued, and the imperial court and the Northern Yuan Dynasty were at war, even if they wanted to hold a party, the Anluhou Mansion did not dare to Zhang Luo, and now the north is victorious, the emperor is happy, and plans to build a palace in Huaijing to celebrate, this kind of gathering is not taboo.
Early in the morning, I went to greet the old lady first, and Chu Junlan went back to the room to change into clothes, the silver-red narrow sleeves pinched the waist gown outlined her delicate figure, and she wore a ruby gold collar around her neck, which was the same as the hairpin on her hair bun, which was given to her by the Xu family.
Chu Junlan looked left and right in the Western beauty mirror: "Mother, am I too glamorous in this body?" ”
Xu said with a smile: "Glamorous but not vulgar, this is very good, you are too plain to dress up on weekdays." It's a big party today, and if you dress inappropriately, it will seem that we despise the party in the Anluhou Mansion. What's more, you are also the future princess, and this body is also lined with you. ”
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "It's all up to my mother." ”
Unlike Chu Junlan, Chu Lingxi wore a lively and playful green jacket today, and the horse-faced skirt of Concubine Yang was embroidered with bunches of grapes wrapped around the branches, making her delicate like a flower blooming on the branches.
The third aunt hung a purse on Chu Lingxi's waist and said with a smile: "You followed up your second aunt, don't walk around by yourself, the people who go up to the party are not ordinary people, and it is not good if you collide with someone." You just have to listen to your second aunt obediently. ”
"Got it," Chu Lingxi held Chu Junlan's arm, "I'm with Sister Lan, it's fine." ”
Xu said: "Don't worry, the third brother and sister, it's just a party, Sister Xi has seen a lot, so don't worry." ”
"Then it's more work for the second sister-in-law."
"My own family, why be polite."
While speaking, Chu Junlan and Chu Lingxi had already gotten into the carriage first, and Chu Lingxi leaned into Chu Junlan's ear and said, "Brother Zhan didn't come, I don't know how to be annoyed behind it." ”
Chu Junlan nodded, there was such a big thing in the Ge family, Lu Ruohan no longer had to worry about falling into the quagmire, and Duke Dingguo and his wife must look at each other's relatives again for Lu Ruohan.
In fact, according to her, Chu Zhan and Lu Ruohan may not be able to achieve good things. It's just that she doesn't know what Chu Hua and Xu think, and she already understands that parents are not people who sacrifice their children's happiness for politics.
This point, Dingguo Gong and his wife are the opposite, just look at the previous Lu Ruohan almost married Ge Weiming.
At the end of the day, they are people with very different ideas, and it is not necessarily a good thing not to be in contact with them.
Compared with last year, Chu Junlan came to Juya again this year, and his identity was completely different. Last year, she was made difficult in front of the door, but this year, she went all the way unimpeded, and went straight to the front hall of An Luhou's mansion with Xu, and greeted Mrs. An Luhou directly.
"Sister Lan, why are they only staring at you." Chu Lingxi took Chu Junlan's hand and walked in one place, and he was also baptized by many people with his eyes, and he was uncomfortable.
"Maybe I'm curious." Chu Junlan laughed in a low voice, not caring.
The capital is so big, no one has some secrets, last year was just an ordinary girl from the five-grade official's family, and now she has become the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, or the emperor's royal mouth is sealed, plus she provides these ladies with a lot of after-dinner conversation, now I see her, it is strange not to take a few more looks.
All the way through the clothes and temples into the front hall, Mrs. An Luhou greeted her with a smile.
"The Duchess of Dingguo is here, and she is disappointed, and she hopes to forgive her sins."
"Where, we're bothering."
Xu and Mrs. An Luhou held hands and bowed to each other, and then saluted the women and daughters in the house.
After some politeness, Lu Ruohan took the initiative to come and sit down next to Chu Junlan and Chu Lingxi, and chatted in a low voice.
In the front hall, many people's eyes fell on the direction where Chu Junlan was.
Lu Ruohan covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, approached Chu Junlan and Chu Lingxi and whispered: "You guys have been watching like this all the way?" ”
"yes." Chu Lingxi smiled bitterly, "I'm really under too much pressure to follow Sister Lan. ”
Lu Ruohan nodded in agreement.
At this time, there was a noble husband who was not very familiar with Chu Junlan, but he had a good friend, and led the topic to her with a smile.
"Miss Chu really deserves her reputation."
"Yes, at last year's Juya meeting, Miss Chu's skills were overwhelming, and even Ye Zhuangyuan's son couldn't cover that talent, which is really admirable."
"If this hairy girl in my family can have this talent, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
Xu Shi listened to these words, whether true or false, and deliberately didn't think about the deep meaning, so he only smiled and talked to them, and said to Chu Junlan with a smile: "You guys also go out for a walk, it's boring to just listen to us here." ”
"How can it be boring to chat with the elders?"
Chu Junlan exchanged pleasantries with the elders before arriving in the garden with Lu Ruohan and Chu Lingxi.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they all looked at each other and smiled.
"Compared with last year's, this year's Juya will be much more casual." Chu Junlan said with a smile.
"Yes," Lu Ruohan said in a low voice, "My aunt didn't plan to hold another gathering this year, but the situation has stabilized, and it doesn't hurt to open it, but the time is a little rushed." ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, no one who comes to Juya knows what new program they are here for." Chu Junlan squeezed his eyes at Lu Ruohan.
Lu Ruohan was stunned for a moment, his face quickly turned red, and he secretly pinched Chu Junlan, "Why is it so bad!" ”
"What's wrong with me? What did I say? Chu Junlan spread his hands innocently.
Chu Lingxi and Lu Ruohan glanced at each other, and they both reached out to scratch Chu Junlan's itch.
Chu Junlan would not stand still, and the three of them chased and laughed for a while, and then came to the garden.
"Hey, where is Wansong?" Lu Ruohan pointed to the place where several sons gathered not far away, and said with a smile, "Wan Song didn't come on a horse today, and the little boy knew that he was wrapped around the whirlwind all day long, otherwise he could bring it for you to see." ”
Chu Junlan sneered: "Don't worry, anyway, the little obedient follow the whirlwind to eat and drink at your house, the food is good, I don't worry at all." ”
Between talking and laughing, the three of them wanted to say hello to Lu Wansong, but as soon as they got closer, they saw a little guy coming in from outside and whispering a few words, and Lu Wansong and several people led by Lu Wansong all walked out to greet them.
"Who's here?" Chu Lingxi guessed.
In just a moment, Shen Yu and Lu Wansong welcomed back the two of them together.
The first young man in front of him was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, wearing a white jade crown, a white complexion, and an arrogant expression, it was Xiao Yunchang, the second son of the king of Huai'an.
The young man in the back wearing a silver-white arrow sleeve jacket and a red jade buckle around his waist was Xiao Zheng, the Nine Emperor Princes.
When the Nine Emperor Princes entered the courtyard, they looked around, their eyes met Chu Junlan's, and their eyes immediately lit up, and they walked quickly.
"Sister-in-law, it turns out that you are here."
