Garan and Mrs. Shen met when they were listening to the puja. I can't talk about acquaintance, but Mrs. Shen suddenly had a leg cramp, and Jia Lan helped her. Mrs. Shen heard the conversation between Xue Mingcan and Jia Lan, and wanted to invite Jia Lan and Xue Mingcan to her home as guests. Jia Lan had a good impression of Mrs. Shen, and she cast an inquiring glance at Xue Mingcan.

Xue Mingcan didn't want to go at all: "Mrs. Shen, thank you for your kindness." But Jialan is vegetarian, and the fasting in the temple is just in line with the habit, so we won't go to the house to bother. ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence, I am also a vegetarian." ”

"Mrs. Shen is really pious." Xue Mingcan had a smile on his face, and said in a regretful tone, "I can't hide it, I just met an old friend in the temple, and the friend was invited first, how can I be treacherous." ”

Shen Qiushui, who had been silent, spoke: "How can the covenant of friends be negative, and the girl can leave." Miss Jialan must not have needed to go to the appointment, and the mother and the Shen family wanted to thank the girl for her help. ”

Xue Mingcan once again lowered his gaze on Shen Qiushui's face, but he still had no expression. This guy is really annoying. Xue Mingcan said directly to Jialan: "Jialan, I just met a friend, he knows that we are coming to the capital together, and he also wants to meet you and make friends." ”

Garan was in a quandary. She really likes Mrs. Shen, this lady is very kind, and the two have a lot to talk about. She carried this sword, and this noble lady did not think she was vulgar and rude like others, but told her that she could travel all over the world to be a chivalrous woman. Mrs. Shen and Mingcan......

"Since you promised someone else, then I can't let you break the contract." Of course, Jia Lan chose Xue Mingcan, and she said a little apologetically, "Madame's kindness, Jia Lan has it." ”

Mrs. Shen naturally regretted it, but she didn't say anything more, nor did she have any dissatisfaction with Xue Mingcan. The mood of the people who worship the Buddha all the year round is really relatively peaceful.

Shen Qiushui helped her mother down the stairs and heard the girl named Jialan ask, "What's the name of that friend of yours, and how did you meet him?" ”

"His name is Li Huaishu. Just now I was shaking the lot, and he suddenly laughed behind my back that I couldn't shake the lot, really...... If I hadn't been bold and good-tempered, I would have been startled by him, and then I would have talked about him. ”

Shen Qiushui suddenly looked back at the woman who was talking eloquently behind them, her smile and tone were so real, talking about Li Huaishu, she was really talking about a friend, talking and laughing freely.

But Shen Qiushui was taken aback by the three words "Li Huaishu", and there was only one person named Li Huaishu in the whole capital.

Today's prince, surnamed Li Mingrun, the word Huaishu.

Of course, Xue Mingcan and Li Huaishu did not make an appointment, and the two finally returned to the inn after having a meal in Ci'en Temple. Jia Lan wasn't angry, she just didn't understand why Xue Mingcan was lying. Xue Mingcan was silent for a moment and asked, "Don't you think that Shen Gongzi is very fierce?" ”

"No, he didn't say a word."

"How could it not!" Xue Mingcan retorted sincerely, "He looked at us so indifferently, just like looking at two goods. It's rude, it's arrogant, it's nasty! Moreover, he asked me to go and let you go to the Shen family alone. How can this be, we are in this together. ”

Garan was a little moved: "Makes sense. ”

Xue Mingcan continued: "There are many rules in big families, and we must have a lot of discomfort when we go to the Shen family. When the time comes, if he does something wrong, he is so fierce, what if he wants to beat us? Most of the powerful are bullies, what if he sees that Mrs. Shen really likes you, snatches your sword, and leaves you in the mansion as a slave? What if Mrs. Shen really likes you and wants to marry you to that Shen Gongzi? You are a Jianghu person, they will definitely let you be a concubine! ”

Garan clenched the sword in his hand and said firmly: "No, if he beats you, I will protect you!" ”

"It's not me, it's you!" Xue Mingcan said, "You don't know that these magnates are arrogant and arrogant, and they don't care about the people at all. You just helped Mrs. Shen casually, what kind of kindness can they remember? She suddenly sneered, extremely disdainful: "Maybe, in the name of your good, I scolded you for not knowing what to do." ”

Xue Mingcan was indignant, but Jia Lan was stunned. She said: "Don't worry, I've been down the mountain for more than three years, and I won't be stupid enough to let others bully me." The two of us are together, and I won't let anyone bully you. ”

"Yes, you have to stay away from those powerful people in the future." Xue Mingcan returned to the topic and talked to Jialan about Li Huaishu. She actually didn't know what Li Huaishu's family did, but there didn't seem to be a high-ranking official surnamed Li in the capital, maybe just a wealthy businessman. This makes sense, it is easy to offend people in business, so they will be hunted down.

"He wanted to repay me by asking me if I would like to go and live in his little house on the west side of the city. I thought, I'm going to come back and ask you, I can't leave you alone. I'm your only friend in the capital. ”

Xue Mingcan seemed to have forgotten that Jia Lan was a chivalrous traveler who traveled all over the world, and the capital was just a temporary stop for her. She would soon be gone, as if she had left the side plug, and would move on to the next place until one day she would be able to return to the temple where she had grown up.

Garan also forgot that she had planned to leave the capital after delivering the letter. The capital is very prosperous, the capital is full of all kinds of possibilities, and the capital is an attractive city. She wanted to stay longer, maybe she could stay here for a few months. Didn't you say that you would enter the red dust, then let her experience the temptation of the red dust.
