The soldiers at the city gate greeted Ruan Haoxuan: "I've seen Ruan Ergongzi." ”

Then he said to Mo Yan: "It turns out that it is Gongzi Xie in the car, and he is offended." ”

As he spoke, he let him go.

Mo Yan came back to his senses from the stunned moment he first saw Ruan Haoxuan, and saw that he had already jumped into the carriage, sat beside him, and slowly entered the city while pulling the reins, and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be the second son, you came back from playing in the city early in the morning? Or did you stay up all night? ”

Ruan Haoxuan gave Mo Yan a roll of his eyes: "Can't this son be serious?" ”

Mo Yan was silent, but the meaning revealed in his eyes was very obvious: You are a gentleman, embarrassed to say that you are doing serious things?

Ruan Haoxuan felt that he was very wronged, and pretended to be angry and gave Mo Yan a burst of chestnuts, gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, you inkstone, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's not big or small! Be careful, I will let your son-in-law punish you severely! ”

At this time, Xie Jinlan's laughing voice suddenly came from inside the carriage: "Mo Yan is right!" Not only will I not punish him, but I will reward him with a month's money. ”

Mo Yan said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Childe!" ”

Ruan Haoxuan jerked the curtain and got into the car. But the moment he saw Xie Jinlan, his anger suddenly disappeared: "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Then they took a seat on the side.

Seeing Ruan Haoxuan, Xie Jinlan's mind somehow flashed Ruan Yezhen's face, and suddenly said, "How is Sister Ling?" ”

As soon as the words came out, even he himself was stunned. But he quickly came back to his senses, and he didn't let Ruan Haoxuan see a trace of abnormality.

Ruan Haoxuan glanced at him strangely: "Why do you care about my sister?" ”

Hasn't this man always been interested in girls?

Xie Jinlan just said lightly: "Just ask casually." Now all over the country is about Ling Mei's royal list. ”

Ruan Haoxuan nodded clearly, and his heart was relieved at the same time: I was scared to death, I thought that Brother Xie had something to think about Zhen'er.

Although Ruan Haoxuan admired Xie Jinlan, he didn't think he would be a good husband candidate.

Calming down, he shook his head slightly, with a bit of melancholy on his face:

"It's still the same. My mother and I are returning from Xiangyuan Temple, and I don't know what Master Huiyuan said to my mother, whether it is possible for Zhen'er to wake up. ”

Xie Jinlan patted him lightly on the shoulder and comforted: "Ling Meiji has her own natural appearance, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

Ruan Haoxuan smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't talk about this." Brother Xie, how are you doing in Lin'an County? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know where Lin'an is. ”

Xie Jinlan thought for a while and said, "Although it is a little poor, it is very different from the prosperity of the capital, but it is very free. ”

Ruan Haoxuan seemed to have heard some joke: "Brother Xie, aren't you at ease in the capital?" You're the first of the four great gentlemen! ”

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and squeezed his eyebrows at him teasingly: "But is it because your aunt is too tight on your marriage?" ”

The magnates in Beijing have heard of this matter.

It was really Mrs. Xie who was too worried about Xie Jinlan's marriage, and complained to other ladies that he didn't want to get married, which gradually spread.

Behind the scenes, many people secretly speculated that Xie Jinlan might have a hidden disease.

Otherwise, why is there not a single concubine in the connecting room at such an old age?

Although he is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, who doesn't know what he does when he goes to the Qinglou? It's like a restaurant!

But the gentlemen who have a good relationship with him know that he is simply high-minded and looks down on those women.

Even the eldest daughter of King An, the talented and good-looking county lord Shuya, is just a vulgar fan in his eyes.

The gentlemen once made fun of him: "Is it possible that you want to marry a fairy in the sky in the future?" ”

Xie Jinlan just laughed and didn't say anything at the time.

But only he knew that he didn't look down on those women, just because he didn't meet the woman who made his heart move......

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Haoxuan, and smiled meaninglessly: "It seems that Haoxuan doesn't want to play with our group of gentlemen." ”

Ruan Haoxuan's heart suddenly froze, he waved his hand again and again, and smiled flatteringly: "I said the wrong thing, Brother Xie, you have a lot, don't worry about me." ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at him with a smile and said, "You and I have known each other for many years, don't you know that I am the most resentful?" ”

Ruan Haoxuan's face suddenly fell: "Brother Xie, how can you forgive me?" ”

Xie Jinlan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "Before I perform the gift of the weak crown, I will borrow the General's Mansion." ”

Ruan Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, but then understood that he was afraid that Mrs. Xie would nag him about his marriage, so he nodded directly:

"Brother Xie just has to stay. It's just that Zhen'er can't wake up now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you. ”

Xie Jinlan waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay." ”

After the two gossiped a few more words, Ruan Haoxuan returned to his carriage.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Ruan Haohui called Ruan Haoxuan: "Haoxuan, who did you go to see just now?" ”

Ruan Haoxuan did not hide it: "Brother Xie has returned from Lin'an. ”

Ruan Haohui was a little puzzled on his face: "He has something important to do when he returns to Beijing?" ”

Ruan Haoxuan bowed his head slightly, and said, "In a few days, it will be Brother Xie's twentieth birthday, and he will always have to give a weak crown gift in front of his parents." ”

Ruan Haohui said that he understood, so he didn't ask more.

Regarding the fact that Ruan Haoxuan did not do his job properly and became one of the four major gentlemen, Ruan An and others turned a blind eye.

The Ruan family has one Ruan Haohui to support. Ruan Haoxuan can live a little more wantonly.

Besides, they also know that although Xie Jinlan's group of people are called gentlemen, they just like to eat, drink and have fun, and they still know how to do things.

Ye Ziyao, who got off the carriage at the back, happened to hear Ruan Haoxuan's last sentence and was thoughtful.

After the five people gathered in Tinglan Courtyard, in the anticipation of everyone, Ye Ziyao said slowly:

"What Master Huiyuan means is that the bell must be tied to the bell. As long as we find the right person, Zhen'er will wake up in a few days. ”

Ruan Haohui's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Untie the bell?" Tie the bell? Does the master mean that Zhen'er's unconsciousness is artificial? ”

Ye Ziyao shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know yet." The master didn't elaborate. ”

Ruan Haoxuan was incomprehensible:

"The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the Yilan Courtyard is even more so. There are only a handful of people in this world who can not alarm a person to come and go freely. Besides, the other party only let Zhen'er fall asleep and did not hurt her life, why is this? ”

Yilan Courtyard is Ruan Yezhen's residence.

A few people thought so.

Ruan Haohui looked at Ye Ziyao: "Mother, the master has a hint, who is the right person?" ”

Ye Ziyao didn't answer, but looked at Ruan Haoxuan:

"Xuan'er, as you said earlier, Xie Jinlan's twentieth birthday is just a few days away. Do you know his birthdate? ”
