Chapter XXVII
Lan Xin is Lan Zipeng's righteous son, and he can be regarded as Lan Ruo's brother, from this relationship, Senior Brother Zhang is his brother-in-law, and they have also experienced many life and death tests together, and they are very friendly. Although thirty years have passed, because they have worked together under the eaves of the Lan family, they have always gotten along well.
Senior Brother Zhang, who is in his eighties, has always been a young and handsome college student, while Lan Xin, who is in his fifties, is already a middle-aged and elderly person with gray temples. This huge contrast makes Senior Brother Zhang feel quite embarrassed, so he usually stays at home and rarely goes out.
Because he hadn't thought of a way that he thought was suitable, and Master Zhang, who was used to going his own way, was unwilling to share his thoughts with others, so Senior Brother Zhang was sitting in the study alone and sad at this time.
Zhang Zhihuan took Lan Xin to the door of the study and knocked on the door twice, "Dad, Uncle Xin is here...".
"Please come in..."Senior Brother Zhang muttered to himself with some unhappiness in his heart, what is he doing here, what is he making a mess?
Lan Xin really didn't come to make trouble, because as soon as he entered the study, Senior Brother Zhang remembered a very suitable candidate to help him stir up the situation.
"Where's your daughter Yuzuki?" Senior Brother Zhang omitted the most basic polite words and asked directly, "Does she have a boyfriend?" ”。
Lan Xin was a little confused by the question, but replied honestly, "It seems that she hasn't yet, she... Alas...".
"No, hurry up and call her over, I have something to say to her..."Senior Brother Zhang urged, "Lan Shao, hurry up, I'm in a hurry!" ”。
Senior Brother Zhang's attitude was completely an order rather than a consultation, and although Lan Xin didn't understand what he meant, he had to inform Lan Xiyue to come over as soon as possible. For in this matter they all have the same purpose.
Lan Ruo and the two female disciples in the 'Rose Garden' have already arranged the engagement banquet, and according to the ancestral rules of the Lan family, there are still some cumbersome etiquettes in the banquet. But Lan Zipeng didn't abide by the ancestral precepts back then, and his son Lan Tianxing was even more able to save only a family banquet and notify everyone to meet with his new wife, and that's it.
Lan Ruo has always felt that such a simple engagement ceremony will not make the new lady feel that she is not valued, because with the prestige of the Lan family and the identity of the eldest young master Lan Tianxing, this engagement banquet is really too simple.
Tianxing didn't care much about this, because the cumbersome etiquette process would not only delay a lot of time, but also make the engaged couple very hard. Because he was reluctant to let his lover be persecuted by those red tape, he reduced all the rules.
The two love each other for life is the emotional entanglement between them, and it has nothing to do with other rules and etiquette.
Leng Chenmeng didn't care about this engagement banquet, although she had been with the eldest young master of the Lan family for the past two days, she had no interest in the position of this Lan lady, she just wanted to see Kang Ran and then return to the 'Avoiding Xi Garden' with him to continue to live the previous plain and peaceful life.
The people she wants to wait for have already arrived, and the things she wants to do have been done, and their fate in this life and this life has been exhausted, and if they continue to force it, they will definitely lose it, and even lead to greater disasters. So she wants to end this relationship that can't see the result, although doing so will hurt her and Lan Tianxing the most in this life.
"Madame, ma'am..." Yongliu knocked on the door outside the young master's bedroom on the third floor with a dressing box inlaid with gold and jade, she had come to help the new lady change her clothes and make up.
The engagement banquet is about to start, and Leng Chenmeng should also be prepared accordingly to appear in front of the Lan family with a relatively perfect attitude, strive to be recognized by the Lan clan, and naturally sit in the seat of Mrs. Lan.
This is what her father Leng Chengfeng has always expected, and after she sits firmly in this position, she will find a way to get rid of Lan Tianxing and control the Lan family, and then put the Lan family under the banner of the Leng family's DT Association, so that the Leng family can swallow the Lan group bloodless and unscathed.
This idea can not only get the huge wealth of the Lan family, but also give the Leng family and the Lan family a very perfect ending for the feud that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, at least this ending is very perfect for Leng Chengfeng.
But in addition to Leng Chengfeng, Kang Ran and Leng Chenmeng did not agree with this result, let alone such an approach, so Kang Ran spared no effort to stop it.
And Leng Chenmeng is a little difficult in this situation now, her love for Lan Tianxing and the feelings she has paid are real, she doesn't want to hurt him because of her existence, so she can only let herself disappear from his world as soon as possible.
"Madam..."Yongliu never heard a voice inside, and asked with a few more taps, "Can I come in?" ”。
"Wait!" Someone inside said a word, it was the voice of Young Master Lan Tianxing.
"Yes!" Yongliu didn't dare to urge anymore, listening to the young master's voice, it seemed that something was not right inside.
Leng Chenmeng wrapped herself in the quilt and never spoke, she refused to attend this engagement banquet, Lan Tianxing accompanied the bedside and coaxed softly for a long time but it still had no effect.
Young Master Lan, who has always turned a blind eye to beautiful women, and even directly ignored the past, was completely subdued today, he was reluctant to say a word too much to her, and he couldn't bear to see her have a slightly unhappy expression, let alone forcibly take her out and force her to do what he wanted.
So in the face of this little girl who he loved very much but couldn't control it, he was really helpless.
Lan Ruo waited in the living room on the first floor for a while and didn't see the new lady come downstairs, she didn't see the little girl after coming for so long, according to the rules, this is a very rude and unqualified performance.
And according to the time, the guests are almost here, although Lan Tianxing's status is noble, but on a special day like today, they should also go out to welcome guests.
The Rose King originally had a cold attitude of watching from the sidelines, neither helping nor stirring up the situation, and everything was done according to Lan Tianxing's instructions. As a half-man, he also has some pity and liking for Leng Chenmeng, but as a half-woman, she is very jealous of Lan Tianxing's infatuation with Leng Chenmeng that has not changed for ten years, so she is in a tangled mood at this time.
Although the Rose King is also working for the Lan family, she only works for Lan Tianxing, and she doesn't have much contact with the rest of the Lan family. Lan Ruo knew that the Rose King was a difficult character to mess with, and he would only say hello politely when he saw him occasionally. But today, this situation is in the 'Rose Garden', and she can only reluctantly try to communicate with the Rose King, try to reach a consensus with her, and make this engagement banquet smoother.
"Sister Mei..."Lan Ruo saw that the door of the Rose King's room was open, and knocked twice politely, "Excuse me...".
The Rose King was doing her hair in front of the dresser, and replied casually, "Sister Ruo? Oh... Please come in, what's the matter with me? ”。
"I want to ask Sister Mei for a favor, Tianxing them..."Lan Ruo was very clear about the relationship between the Rose King and Lan Tianxing, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he spoke very carefully.
The Rose King smiled, "What happened between them... Tianxing's character, Sister Ruo, you also know, what he wants to do is difficult for others to interfere with...".
Lan Ruo smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to interfere in his affairs, whoever he likes and wants to be with is his own choice." But today... Now that you've got an engagement party, you have to meet your family...".
"Don't worry, Tianxing is also in the room, isn't he worried about doing things?" The Rose King replied unconcernedly, "Maybe they haven't finished their whispers yet..."
Lan Ruo didn't have such a relaxed idea as the Rose King, and hurriedly explained, "Although it's just an engagement, it's a very important day!" The most basic rules and etiquette still have to be observed, at this time, should they also come over to prepare and go out to welcome guests? ”
The Rose King hated these red tape and rules and etiquette very much, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but then smiled, "Sister Ruo wants me to urge them?" Well, this thankless errand is left to me...".
"I'll go with you!" Lan Ruo replied with a gentle smile, "He will only blame me for being a sister...".
