Chapter 152: The Lady of the Gatekeeper Chooses
Jiang Lan looked at the gift box behind the old housekeeper, yes, the box was not ordinary, it seemed that the things in it should be more valuable.
Xichi next to him took the things and put them away, and the old housekeeper went down.
Xue Mingrui, who was next to him, glanced at Jiang Lan, and when he saw that he was also looking at him, he said, "Do you think that since you were seriously injured last time, the old man doesn't seem to care much about you?" I didn't go out according to you, and I feel that your life has been like honey and oil recently, which is very moisturizing. ”
Xue Mingrui's face was full of envy, Jiang Lan ignored it, she was more interested in the phenomenon that Xue Mingrui discovered. Yes, didn't this old man like to rely on this original body before? What can't you stay home at night, even the friends around you are in charge, did the old man find out something?
Jiang Lan thought about it here, but felt that he didn't feel reasonable, and found that something was wrong, and the most normal reaction should be like the original third uncle, and he invited no less than 30 Taoist priests one after another, taking turns to do things and exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts.
Why is this old man so abnormal, could it be that there is something hidden?
Looking at Jiang Lan in a daze, Xue Mingrui thought that he had poked Jiang Lan's heart. In the past, Jiang Lan was extremely strong, she wanted to do her best in everything she did, and she wanted to prove herself in front of the old man.
It must have been the incident last time that made the entire Jiang family lose face, which made Lao Guogong angry, and he didn't pay attention to his cousin for so long.
Xue Mingrui sometimes didn't understand what Lao Guogong did.
When asked about his father, his father was just that the old man was too strict with his three children in the first half of his life, resulting in the three of them now... So it may be that he wants to keep the only seedling of the Jiang family, so he will raise Jiang Lan to the gentleman, so as not to let him be too dazzling and keep this life. On weekdays, he is too strict and old-fashioned, and he may be afraid of being disabled.
Although Xue Mingrui felt that his father had to be reasonable, he couldn't understand many places.
Since I am afraid that my cousin will be too dazzling and will harm my life, why not just let my cousin hide it directly, why really cultivate a gentleman, but if something really happens, how should my cousin face it.
It is impossible for Grandpa Guo to be shrewd and not think of this, so Xue Mingrui also discussed this matter with his mother.
Gu Shi said that the temperament of this Guogong Mansion has changed greatly since the prince and his wife left, and there must be something we don't know about it. It's all their own fate, so why force it.
I asked my eldest brother, but I was told that it wasn't your business.
Compared with the eldest aunt's cousin Heng, who hurts in the eyeballs, Xue Mingrui's favorite is Jiang Lan.
"Since this is nothing, I will wait for your cousin in the mansion. Tomorrow, my brother will depend on you. ”
Jiang Lan waved his hand and hurriedly sent this person away.
After Xue Mingrui left, Jiang Lan opened the roster on the table again, and many of the people in it were the context maps of important people in Beijing.
Thinking that many families have these things, Xue Mingrui must have known that the old prince and the third uncle would not talk to him about the twists and turns in this, so he copied his share of the book to himself.
However, the record of the woman in this boudoir is obscure, I originally wanted to see the hungry appearance of the lord of Shou'an, but I found that there were only a few sentences at all, only the family background and parents and brothers in the family, and the rest of the talents and appearances were ignored.
Whether this was originally not, or whether the cousin deliberately left it behind is unknown.
The next day, Jiang Lan wore a beige-colored brocade robe early in the morning, wore a crown on her head, a gold fan pinned to her waist, and a high-quality mutton fat jade hung on the jade belt.
Followed by Xichi, Jiang Lan stood at the door.
Soon my sister Jiang Si came.
Jiang Si is wearing an ancient smoke pattern Bixia Luo clothes, the lower body is a smoke and water flower skirt, and a jade bone fan is tied around the waist, and the whole person looks cold and elegant and very beautiful.
Jiang Lan helped Jiang Si into the carriage, then looked at the entourage and gifts behind him, and then ordered, "Let's go." ”
Jiang Si looked at Jiang Lan, "It's only an hour, won't it be too early for us to go here?" ”
Jiang Lan smiled bitterly, took out the roster in her arms, and explained while studying, "No way, who asked my cousin to beg again and again yesterday, I was also punished." ”
"The second cousin is begging my brother to come over and help? Greeting guests? Jiang Si asked curiously with the jade bone fan in his hand.
"Yes, the eldest cousin has official affairs, and all the young guests at the man's banquet at this birthday banquet fell on the second cousin, so he came to me for help." Jiang Lan was also very speechless, she was obviously a guest at her grandmother's house leisurely, how could she become the one who was called, this strong man was too reasonable.
Jiang Si looked at his brother Jiang Lan, "Brother, don't forget that there are people in the Xue Mansion, this eldest cousin is not there, the second cousin is too busy, and there are third, fourth, and fifth cousins...... Even the ninth cousin can go to say hello, why did the second cousin come over and call your brother alone? ”
Hearing Jiang Si say this, Jiang Lan also felt strange.
It stands to reason that this is the right thing to entertain guests with her brother at home, why is this pulling her a cousin?
Moreover, the British Mansion has been here for so long, and Jiang Lan really hasn't been here.
The carriage first drove into an extremely spacious avenue, and Jiang Lan lifted the curtain to take a look.
"Anping Palace?"
Jiang Si also looked over, "My brother's serious injury last time was not light?" How can I even forget this. The British Mansion and the Anping Mansion are in the same alley. ”
Thinking of the roster in his hand, "This time it seems that I also invited the people of the Anping Palace, I just broke the good deeds of the King of Anping the day before yesterday, if I meet it today, I am afraid that I will not have a good face." ”
Jiang Si shook his head, "Brother, don't worry, King Anping will not participate in this kind of banquet, but the princess is a very lively person, she will definitely come, there is no concubine in their house, and the princess is not restrained, and she will bring her concubine out to enjoy the banquet together." ”
"Princess Anping? Is it the daughter of the eldest princess of Jinyang, the princess of the county? Jiang Lan looked at the roster in his hand, and before he could turn to that page, Jiang Si on the opposite side gave an affirmative answer.
"How is the princess?" Jiang Lan closed the booklet and asked Jiang Si.
"Well, what's the matter, unlike King Anping's prestige in the court, the princess is an extremely easy-going woman, and often praises the girls who greet her, and is a wonderful lady."
"I didn't expect that this is the so-called flower inserted in cow dung."
Jiang Si smiled, "Although King Anping is a little overbearing, and he is not very good to our aunt, but from the perspective of the princess, King Anping is indeed a very good person." It is rumored that King Anping and his wife are very affectionate,"
Jiang Lan remembered the carriage of the Anping Mansion that carried the princess of Liang on that dark and windy night, and the solid evidence she had seen of King Anping himself, Jiang Lan wanted to explain to Jiang Si her misunderstanding of King Anping.
Forget it, the girl's vision is only like this, and in the future, brother-in-law or something, let's check it yourself.
