The mediocre is impartial and unfaulted.

Hearing Shen Junyu's assurance, Chu Jiangli finally put his mind at ease, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he still knows the priorities, and it is not in vain for her to make a bet.

A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time. After all the time spent studying, the month passed as quickly as it came. As for what Chu Jiangli has learned this month, she just needs to know that her common sense and knowledge have been made up, which is enough to deal with some scenes.

On this day, Chu Jiangli was hiding in the new courtyard arranged for her by Shen Junyu to read a book quickly, but he did not expect him and Zhang Xu to visit suddenly.

First, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then Zhang Xu's smooth and easy-going voice came: "Miss Chu, are you there?" ”

Looking at the voice in confusion, Chu Jiangli groaned slightly, then put down the book in his hand, got up and walked to open the door. She hadn't seen Zhang Xu for a month, and now she suddenly came, and she didn't know why.

Zhang ...... My lord, the Seventh Prince, what are you here for today? As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Zhang Xu was not the only one standing outside the door, and Chu Jiang was really stuck. Well, in fact, not only did she not see Zhang Xu for a month, but she also didn't see Shen Junyu and Bai Yiwen, as well as the other maids and guards in the house, and she really felt angry.

politely invited Shen Junyu and Zhang Xu into the room to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea for the two, Chu Jiangli also sat down and looked at them seriously.

I haven't seen him for a month, Shen Junyu is still the same as the prince, and Zhang Xu is still in good spirits, and he doesn't look like he's changed much. But Chu Jiangli felt sensitively that in fact, there was a trace of imperceptible tiredness in the expressions of the two of them.

It seems that they have not had a good time in the past month.

Neither of them spoke, and Chu Jiangli was left to them. When the time comes, they will say it themselves, so give them a little time to organize the language now.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xu raised his eyes to look at Chu Jiangli and looked at her carefully.

In the past month, she has changed a lot. took off the strange costume and changed into the dress of Miss Everybody, which made her temperament superb. Coupled with the calm and atmospheric style, smart and wise eyes, and delicate and beautiful face, this style is so dazzling.

If he didn't know some of her original personality and origin, just based on her current outfit, I'm afraid that even his countless experience would have looked away.

"Ahem," realizing that he was a little distracted, Zhang Xu coughed twice to ease the atmosphere, and then asked a few casual questions, looking for a beginning for his next words: "Miss Chu, how have you studied this month?" ”

"I'm tired of Lord Zhang, everything is fine." After a month of intensive training, Chu Jiangli's words also slowly infiltrated some ancient styles. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to do this, but whoever lets people in a "foreign country" still need to follow the customs of the country.

Seeing that Chu Jiangli's conversation and behavior at this time were too different from the previous image of a "madman", Shen Junyu's eyes looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little weird. Now the gentle and generous person in front of him is really Chu Jiangli a month ago?

But compared to Shen Junyu's strangeness and discomfort, Zhang Xu's expression was very happy. I really didn't expect that she could grow so quickly in just one month, which was beyond his imagination.

That being said, there are some things that can be put on the agenda in advance.

"Okay, good," said three good words in succession, Zhang Xu began to twist the goatee on his chin again, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "I really didn't expect that I hadn't seen her for a month, and Miss Chu seemed to have completely changed her appearance." In this way, the old man doesn't need to worry about entering the palace anymore. ”

"Oh?" Listening to Zhang Xu's appreciation, Chu Jiangli's heart was happy. This shows that her hardships this month have not been in vain, and she can be regarded as handing in a satisfactory answer.

Leaned forward with great interest, unconsciously smoothed a strand of hair behind his ear with his left hand, tilted his head slightly but looked at Shen Junyu, Chu Jiangli smiled and said, "So, the Seventh Prince has already arranged the next things?" ”

I don't know why, Chu Jiangli's behavior at this time made Shen Junyu feel very uncomfortable, and he only felt that the goosebumps all over his body were going to go wild. Pulling the corners of his mouth stiffly, Shen Junyu forcibly endured the discomfort and explained to Chu Jiangli: "Yes, after seven days, my father will hold a flower-viewing banquet, and at that time, all officials above the second rank and their families will be invited into the palace, this is an opportunity." ”

7th ......

At first glance, when he heard that it would take seven days, Chu Jiangli frowned unconsciously. Seven days is not a long time, but they only have one month left, and this time it will be a quarter less, which is really not very good.

Pursing his lips gently, Chu Jiangli temporarily put aside the thoughts in his heart and continued to ask, "Then, has my identity been arranged?" ”

"Of course." Hearing Chu Jiangli's question, Shen Junyu suddenly relaxed, and at the same time casually turned his head to look at Zhang Xu, but his mouth was answering her words: "I don't know Miss Chu, do you want to be a teacher's niece?" ”

"Niece?" was a little confused by this title, and Chu Jiangli's face was full of entanglement. Then she unconsciously shook her hand and said to the two, "Wait, I'll do the math." ”

"Niece, is the nephew's daughter, that is, the daughter of my brother's son, that is, my father's father is your brother?" Counting his fingers to the end, Chu Jiangli looked at Zhang Xu with a questioning face.

"Ahem...... That's right. Looking at Chu Jiangli's obviously still puzzled expression, Zhang Xu couldn't help but feel a little depressed. What a simple relationship, she actually had to count her fingers for so long: "Strictly speaking, you are my brother's granddaughter." ”

"......" After listening to Zhang Xu's simple answer, Chu Jiangli couldn't help but be a little speechless. How did he say this, it seemed to be very simple. Well, there are some questions, and she still has to ask them.

"Lord Zhang, Brother Ling...... What kind of official position is it in the court? "It's not that she has to ask, it's really a little close, my brother's granddaughter, if she has held an official position in the court, she definitely has colleagues, how can she not know the situation in his family. This suddenly has an extra granddaughter, can it be said that it is an illegitimate daughter......

Ahh

Zhang Xu naturally understood Chu Jiangli's worries, and when he heard her ask like this, he couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart. can think so thoughtfully, she is indeed a far-sighted girl: "Miss Chu don't worry, my brother has been staying in his hometown and has nothing to do with the court, not to mention that he died three years ago." ”

"Uh......" As soon as he heard that the person had died, Chu Jiangli was embarrassed. grinned and entangled for a long time, and finally spit out a sentence: "Lord Zhang, I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xu didn't mind as much as Chu Jiangli thought, but waved his hand lightly, dispelling Chu Jiangli's embarrassment: "Miss Chu, you can rest assured, I have already said hello to my nephew, and there will be no accidents about your identity." ”

"Thank you, Master Zhang." Now that everyone has said it's okay, she doesn't need to worry too much. Anyway, relatively speaking, it will definitely not be her who is more afraid that her identity will be exposed.

"It's still called Master Zhang?" Hearing Chu Jiangli's title, Zhang Xu deliberately put on a straight face and said with little joy.

After he reminded him like this, Chu Jiangli also reacted, and his face was a little embarrassed. This title must be changed, otherwise it will definitely be exposed, and it must be.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiangli also looked at Zhang Xu, brewed his emotions a little, and called out a sweet "uncle and grandfather". And the voice is full of a granddaughter's coquettish psychology towards her grandfather.

Being left by Chu Jiangli's sweet cry made Shen Junyu and Zhang Xu a little unbearable. So, the sound of coughing one after another rushed out without hesitation.

"Ahem, ahem...... What's that, I'm leaving......" finally got a good breath, Zhang Xu looked at her helplessly, and said, "Remember not to call it wrong in the future." ”

Originally, Zhang Xu wanted to say that she didn't want to call her that anymore, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better to call her like this, so he could only change his words temporarily, and only said that he wanted Chu Jiang to leave and not to call it wrong.

"Okay, Uncle." Quickly responded to this sentence, and Chu Jiangli smiled as sweetly as he could.

"Hmm, yes, yes." Some couldn't resist looking at Chu Jiangli, and Zhang Xu quickly used his brain. After seeing his eyes roll twice, I heard him say, "I will leave, I still have some things, so I will go first." Let the prince tell you the rest of the details. ”

"Okay, uncle and grandpa, go slowly." Standing up in a hurry, Chu Jiangli personally sent Zhang Xu to the door and watched him walk out of the small courtyard.

After Zhang Xu left, the sweet smile on Chu Jiangli's face suddenly flickered, and he no longer had his previous cute appearance. Then, she raised her hands again and tapped her cheeks as if to move her muscles.

At this time, Chu Jiangli was facing Shen Junyu with his back, so Shen Junyu didn't see the change in her expression. But just her actions had already aroused Shen Junyu's doubts.

"Eh, what are you doing?" Although he felt strange, Shen Junyu unexpectedly felt that Chu Jiangli at this time was normal, and it didn't seem to make him feel uncomfortable before.

With Shen Junyu's question, Chu Jiangli also turned around, but the movements of his hands did not stop, still patting his cheeks.

"Move your facial muscles." Answering as a matter of course, Chu Jiang walked back to the table with great strides and sat down face to face with Shen Junyu again: "I held it back for so long just now, my face was about to stiffen with laughter, so I can't move it well." ”

"What?" was a little stunned for a while, and Shen Junyu suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked. Then, unconsciously, he raised his voice: "You just pretended?" ”

"Nonsense." Disdainfully threw Shen Junyu a roll of his eyes, and Chu Jiangli's hand finally put it down: "I have to let you see the results of my cultivation in the past month." lest you have no confidence in me and find a bunch of nonsense questions to test me. ”
