Chapter 188: A few cups of self-punishment

Xie Jinlan's behavior in recent days has increased the good impression of the maids in the General's Mansion towards him.

They didn't know that the Xie family would invite a matchmaker to come to the door in a few days to propose marriage, and they prayed in their hearts that the county lord would wake up soon, so that the two of them could finally become married.

Even the four big girls in front of Ruan Yezhen, Huan Rushi and others, also admitted Xie Jinlan in their hearts.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

Xie Gongzi did not know that the county lord would most likely not be able to wake up for the rest of his life, but he still did not change his original intention.

He is indeed true love for the county lord!

It's just that what puzzles them is:

When did the county lord and Gongzi Xie meet? They were by the county lord's side all day, but they had never seen any intersection between the two!

But they don't want to delve into this. As long as Gongzi Xie can treat the county lord well, how the two met, is it really that important?

The subordinates of the General's Mansion were very strict-mouthed.

Even if they gossip a lot about the matter between Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen in the mansion, once they leave the mansion, they will definitely not say half a word.

The general and the eldest princess didn't reveal this meaning, how dare they spread the word? If something breaks down, they can't afford it!

On this day, Xie Jinlan responded to Ruan Haoxuan's appointment and came to Pinxiangju with Mo Yan.

Xie Jinlan was a frequent visitor here, and as soon as he came, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile and personally took him to the private room they frequented.

When Xie Jinlan pushed the door, a man with a sturdy and dark complexion immediately stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders:

"Brother Xie, the brothers are looking forward to you! Come on, sit here, sit here, set aside a place for you. ”

Without waiting for Xie Jinlan to speak, he directly took him to the window position. From here, you can see the scenery from the street.

Xie Jinlan did not shirk and sat down with kindness.

Whenever the four of them met here, he sat by the window. Over time, this became his exclusive seat.

The sturdy man from before sat on Xie Jinlan's right hand, Ruan Haoxuan on his left, and a baby-faced man opposite.

Behind the four of them, each stood a servant.

Including Xie Jinlan, the four major gentlemen in the capital gathered again in Pinxiangju after many months.

The sturdy man's name is Xia Yue, and he is the second son of Wu Anhou.

The baby-faced man's name is Yan Jian Ge, and he is the little grandson of the country's priest wine.

Yan Jiange held his face with both hands, and there was a slight distress between his eyebrows:

"Brother Xie, we just hurriedly said a few words about your weak crown ceremony that day, thinking that we would get together with you the next day. I didn't think that you couldn't get away from something for several days, and the meeting of several of us was delayed to this day. ”

Xia Yue echoed: "Brother Xie, I heard from the people in your mansion that you have been running to the general's mansion every day for the past few days, what is Ruan Er busy with?" ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Haoxuan, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

The two of them happened to be seen by Yan Jiange. I saw his eyes roll, and said:

"Brother Xie, Second Brother Ruan, are you going behind my back and Second Brother Xia to do something interesting?"

When Xia Yue heard this, where is he still willing? At the moment, he glared angrily at Ruan Haoxuan: "Okay, you Ruan Er, did you let Brother Xie hide it from me and Jian Ge?" ”

Ruan Haoxuan felt that he was very wronged, but he couldn't tell Xie Jinlan that he was going to see his sister.

Glancing at Xie Jinlan and receiving his eyes, Ruan Haoxuan could only recite this black cauldron:

"Anyway, it's not the first time, you'll find out in a few days."

Xia Yue muttered very dissatisfiedly: "It's so mysterious again." ”

Although he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, he also understands that this matter must have been approved by Xie Jinlan.

Yan Jiange's gaze flickered back and forth on the three of them, and then laughed:

"Brother Xie, you have been away from the capital for so long, and you finally came back, but you have only had time to get together with us until now. Today you are still the latest one, you say, should you punish yourself for a few drinks? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yue was the first to applaud: "Brother Xie, you can do it yourself by yourself after a few cups." ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head and smiled, but he didn't refuse, and poured himself five cups very refreshingly.

After putting down the wine glass, his gaze swept over Xia Yueyan and Jian Ge, and said with a smile: "So, are you still satisfied?" ”

The two of them nodded spontaneously.

Yan Jiange shifted the target to Ruan Haoxuan again: "Second Brother Ruan, it's your turn." ”

Ruan Haoxuan paused.

Xia Yue echoed again and again: "That's right, Ruan Er." Brother Xie has accepted the punishment, and he can't ignore you. ”

Ruan Haoxuan can't say that he is suffering now, so he can only punish himself five cups as Xie Jinlan did before.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue didn't let him go: "Ruan Er, Brother Xie has five cups, and you have five cups." You think about it yourself, is this appropriate? ”

It's almost like saying that you have to have a few more drinks.

Ruan Haoxuan glanced at him fiercely, and said in his heart: Okay, you Xia Er, I can remember it. Don't let it fall into my hands!

Then he drank five more cups in hatred.

Xie Jinlan and Yan Jiange were both watching the excitement and did not interfere.

It's not once or twice that the two love and kill each other like this, they have long been accustomed to it.

After this stubble passed, the party between the four of them could be regarded as the real beginning.

Although Xie Jinlan left the capital for a few months, he did not seem to be alienated from the three of them.

During the period, the four of them talked and laughed, time was fleeting, the sun was setting, and the sky was about to darken.

Xie Jinlan glanced at the dwindling crowd on the street, and said to the three of them, "I should leave too." ”

Xia Yue suddenly shouted: "Brother Xie, how can you be so unkind? Are you going to leave behind our brothers? You weren't like that before! ”

Xie Jinlan smiled meaningfully and said, "This time is different from the past, I always have to leave a good impression on others." ”

Ruan Haoxuan suddenly understood. Xia Yue and Yan Jian Ge were confused.

Yan Jian Ge said: "Brother Xie, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Who is this 'people' talking about? ”

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and there was a little more ridicule on his face: "Brother Xie can't be hiding a beautiful girl at home, right?" ”

Mo Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said in his heart: What Yan Gongzi said is not unreasonable. Although this beautiful girl is not at home, it is indeed for a girl.

Xie Jinlan slowly drank the wine in the glass, but smiled silently.

Yan Jian Ge said it casually, but seeing Xie Jinlan's tacit attitude, his eyes suddenly widened:

"Brother Xie, you really hid a beautiful girl?!"

Xie Jinlan shook his head at first, then nodded, and said, "Although it is not hit, it is not far away." I didn't dare hide her in my house. ”

Xia Yue was also surprised: "Brother Xie, you have only been back in Beijing for a few days, when did you meet the girl?" Or did you bring that girl back from Lin'an? ”
