Chapter Seventy-Six: Cousins (Second Watch)
There is nothing more pleasing than giving a gift to someone's heart. The eldest princess is a knowledgeable person, so she can naturally see that such a set of chess pieces is really rare.
The eldest princess's mansion happily accepted An Huajin's gift, and immediately called a maidservant, handed over the box of chess pieces to her, and instructed, "Go, send Xiao An'er's gift to the concubine, so that he will be happy." β
The maidservant girl should be, and immediately carefully held the chess box.
"Are you going to come with me, or are you going to find a place to stay?" The eldest princess sent her maidservant and asked An Huajin, "You came to my princess's mansion once, but do you want me to point someone to serve you and take you around?" β
"No, I'll just walk around on my own." An Huajin waved his hand.
The eldest princess looked at her uneasily, "The first time you come to my princess's mansion, if I let you go around, when the banquet starts, what if you get lost and can't find you?" You came to Beijing for the first time three years ago to enter the palace, didn't you get lost in the palace and get lost in the cold palace? β
An Huajin touched his nose and was confident, "The me I was three years ago is different from me today. β
The eldest princess Da Le, "Okay, okay, then you go around by yourself, there is nothing in my house where you can't go, and I'm not afraid that you will collide with others, after all, you are powerful, but you are afraid that others will collide with you, don't fight with others." β
"The birthday banquet of the big horse, I always want to give you and the big horse this little face, you can rest assured." An Huajin doesn't think that if anyone knows her identity and dares to take the initiative to provoke her, as long as she doesn't bully people, she shouldn't be able to fight.
The eldest princess thought about it, An Huajin was not really ignorant, she was relieved, let An Huajin do her own thing, and went to greet the guests by herself.
After seeing the palace and the Gu family, although the eldest princess's mansion is luxurious, it is much worse in the end.
An Huajin passed the weeping flower gate along the corridor of the hand, deliberately avoiding crowded places, and entered the back garden.
There is a quiet lake in the back garden, there is a breeze pavilion by the lake, the scenery is excellent, there are no people, people who come to the eldest princess's mansion to participate in the banquet today, regardless of men and women, are busy socializing and getting to know people, An Huajin does not need it, so he simply stopped, went to the Qingfeng Pavilion, and enjoyed the purity of a person alone.
But she didn't clear up for a while, and someone came here.
Gu Molan and Wang Lanxin came together, both of them are also clean, although Gu Molan is engaged, there are still two years to be married, so the Gu family does not restrain her, and it happened to be lively in the eldest princess's mansion, so she was let come with the Gu family sisters.
She and Wang Lanxin are very good, and their cousins get along like sisters, and they are both teased, so they also avoided crowded places and came here together.
Gu Molan first saw An Huajin sitting in the pavilion, she was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "It turns out that Sister An is here." β
Wang Lanxin was also stunned for a moment, and following Gu Molan's line of sight, she also saw An Huajin.
I saw An Huajin take the pastry on the table, crush it and throw it into the lake, some fish swam over, jumped out of the water, and ate the pastry residue she threw down, I don't know how long she has been here, where she threw the pastry, a small group of fish has gathered, and each one is jumping up and down to compete for it. She sat sideways, her figure was slender, her side face was soft, and a two-person tall moon tree next to the pavilion poked out flower branches, beautiful flowers, but not as good as people, people are more delicate than flowers.
Wang Lanxin's breath was suffocated, and she couldn't help but think of yesterday, her sixth cousin never suffered a loss except when facing Gu Qi's cousin, but yesterday, she couldn't keep her, after a fight, she left strongly, and the sixth cousin didn't stop it, or knew that the consequences of stopping it were not what he wanted.
There was no longer that moment, so that she clearly knew that she was An Huajin, the small county lord of Nanyang Palace, An Huajin, who could also walk sideways in the capital.
Compared to her, she didn't have such a strong confidence, she wanted her to cancel the marriage contract with Cousin Gu Qi, and she had to rely on someone else's hand, and she couldn't move her.
Wang Lanxin lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "What a coincidence, it turns out that Lord An Xiaojun has come early and is here." β
Gu Molan turned her head to look at her, knowing that she hadn't given up on her brother yet, she sighed in her heart, "Fourth cousin, I'm going to say hello to Sister An, if you don't want to go over......"
"I'll go with you." Wang Lanxin raised her head, she couldn't see anything on her face, she could only see her gentle smile, "Although I saw Lord An Xiaojun yesterday, I didn't say anything to her. β
Gu Molan was stunned, "Fourth cousin, where did you meet Sister An yesterday?" β
Wang Lanxin smiled and said that she happened to meet An Huajin yesterday and invited her to eat the private dishes of a property under the name of the sixth cousin, and it happened that the sixth cousin was not in his mansion yesterday, and he was also cooking private dishes in that house, and she happened to meet it, something happened, so she didn't say a few words to An Huajin.
Gu Molan was surprised, "Sister An and Sixth Cousin know each other?" β
"Yes. I was amazed, too. Wang Lanxin said with a smile, "If it weren't for a coincidence, I wouldn't have thought of it." You know, my sixth cousin is a dustless person, but I didn't expect that he had a very high opinion of Lord An Xiaojun. β
Gu Molan was thoughtful, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
Wang Lanxin felt a "sigh" in her heart, looked at Gu Molan, seemed to regret mentioning something, hesitated for a moment, and still lowered her voice and said, "Ninth cousin, you ...... Still like my sixth cousin? β
Gu Molan's face turned pale, but she still shook her head quickly, "Fourth cousin, don't talk nonsense, I don't like sixth cousin." β
Wang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief and said in a lower voice, "Why did Grandpa Gu suddenly make a marriage contract for you so quickly?" You're obviously still young, at the very least, you have to look at each other for a year or two before you can make a reservation. β
In other words, it may not be that there is no chance with Wang Anzhi.
Gu Molan raised her head and smiled, her face was still a little white, but it was not white and bloodless, it was just clearer, she pursed the corners of her mouth and said softly, "Fourth cousin, the second son of Wei from Uncle Yiyong is very good, he is the husband chosen by my grandfather and grandmother, my parents, and my brother, and my family will not harm me, and I also agreed." So, sooner or later, it doesn't matter. β
Wang Lanxin was stunned.
Gu Molan's eyes gradually cleared, "I don't like the sixth cousin, he is too distracted and not suitable for me, besides, he doesn't like me either, I am suitable for a noble and unassuming family like Uncle Yiyong, and I am also suitable for a person with a calm heart and noble character like the second son of Wei." In my life, I still like the beauty of being able to see the road ahead and see hope, and I don't like to walk in the dark without an end. So, in the future, the fourth cousin will not be in front of my sixth cousin in front of me. β
Wang Lanxin was secretly shocked.
Gu Molan smiled, "My fourth cousin and I have had a good relationship since childhood, but our temperaments are different. The fourth cousin can't let go of my brother, and I won't persuade you to let go anymore, but I think it's good for me to do this. β
Wang Lanxin pursed her lips and apologized, "Ninth cousin, I'm sorry, it's me who is in love." β
Gu Molan looked at her seriously, "I naturally hope that the fourth cousin can want to open it like me, if you can't open it......
She turned her head and looked at An Huajin, who was leaning sideways on the railing to feed the fish in the Qingfeng Pavilion, and smiled shallowly, "There is a kind of person in this world, you look at her like this, you take everything for granted, before, I thought that only my brother and sixth cousin were such people in this world, and now, I see that there is also an Xiao County Lord." β
"Fourth cousin, you look at her like this, what do you think she has already lived in my brother's heart?"
Wang Lanxin's face gradually turned white, white to the end, and there was no blood at all.
Gu Molan turned her head and looked at Wang Lanxin, her eyes showed unbearability, and she asked softly, "Fourth cousin, are you still going with me to see Sister An in the pavilion?" β
Wang Lanxin was silent for a while, clenched her hands in her sleeves, lowered her head, seemed to use great strength to suppress the surging emotions, and whispered, "I'm not going, you can go by yourself." β
She finished her sentence and turned to leave.
Gu Molan stood in place for a while, watching Wang Lanxin's figure leave slightly, she straightened the hem of her clothes and slowly walked into the Qingfeng Pavilion.
She is her brother's own sister, and since her brother doesn't give her fourth cousin a chance, she naturally helps her brother. The fourth cousin can think of the best, if she can't think of it, she is afraid that she will have to break off her relationship with her in the future.
An Huajin had already heard that there was movement over there, she not only had excellent eyesight, but also better ears and eyes, although the distance was far away, she could vaguely hear what the two said, but when she saw that Wang Lanxin was leaving alone, only Gu Mo Lan came alone, she smiled admittedly and greeted, "Sister Gu Jiu." β
"Sister Ann." Gu Molan's eyebrows were gentle, and she had a smile on her face, "Sister An likes to tease the fish very much?" β
"No, I have nothing to do, but I happen to see a lot of beautiful fish in the lake, so I use them to pass the time and have some fun." An Huajin smiled, patted the pastry residue in his hand, turned around, and looked at Gu Molan, "I haven't congratulated Gu Jiu sister for finding Ruyi Langjun." β
Gu Molan's face flushed slightly, and she was a little shy and climbed up her pretty face, "Sister An said that she laughed, compared to Sister An's fiancΓ©, mine is not much wishful, men in the world, where is my brother better?" β
Anhua Jin was happy, laughing.
Gu Molan's face turned even redder, "Sister An is smiling like this, do you think what I said is wrong?" β
"Yes, yes, yes!"
An Huajin nodded hurriedly, did she dare to say that what she said was wrong? The man in the world is indeed the best for her fiancΓ©, and indeed the best for her brother.
I didn't expect Gu Molan, a little girl, to respect her brother so much.
