Chapter 43: Fu Linglan
After Chu Lan went home, she couldn't understand why Xie Shaoqing fell in love with Chu Li.
Seeing Chu Lan's worried look, Mrs. Li asked, "What are you thinking, shouldn't you be thinking about Chu Lan?" ”
Chu Lan was surprised: "Mother, how can you see it." ”
Mrs. Li smiled: "I can't guess your little bit of effort." ”
Chu Lan asked, "Mother, what do you think Xie Shaoqing married Chu Li?" ”
Mrs. Li flicked Chu Lan's forehead with her hand: "It's still the same sentence, everyone has their own popularity, don't think too much." ”
Although Mrs. Li said this, Chu Lan had always been very mindful in her heart, and she was worried about it, she said: "Mother, I really don't understand, the Chen family can't look down on Chu Li, why did the Seventh Prince rush to marry her." ”
Mrs. Li said lightly: "So Chen Feng is short-sighted, and you are also as knowledgeable as him." ”
Seeing that Chu Lan was still unwilling, Mrs. Li said, "Don't think about it so much, if you have this energy, it's better to learn more female celebrities and give your mother a beating on the back." ”
Chu Lan gave Mrs. Li a slap on the back, she was still a little unwilling, and said: "My cousin Chu Lan looks very ordinary, and she is not as good-looking as me." There was still an unwilling tone in his mouth.
Mrs. Li said: "It's good to say this once, and I will mention it again in the future, so as not to cause trouble from my mouth." ”
Mrs. Li said this, Chu Lan didn't dare to mention this matter again, she beat her back for a while, and said that she was tired and wanted to go back to the room to rest.
Chu Li hadn't been lying in the room for long before the maid Taozhi came in and said, "Girl, Fu Linglan, the young lady of the Imperial Doctor's family, is here to find you." ”
Fu Linglan and Chu Lan may both have the word 'Lan' in their names, so they are very close to each other, although Chu Lan has a big lady's temper, her nature is not bad. Fu Linglan likes to talk about the rights and wrongs of others behind her back, and she also likes to comment on the appearance of others, Chu Lan likes to listen to Fu Linglan say this.
As soon as Fu Linglan entered Chu Lan's room, she shouted: "Have you heard, the Seventh Prince Xie Shaoqing married a little-known girl, that girl is said to be your cousin, and it is rumored everywhere that the Seventh Prince took the initiative to marry her, is it true?" ”
Chu Lan looked outside, came in and made a gesture to Fu Linglan in a low voice: "You be quiet, my mother is next door." ”
Fu Linglan smiled: "It's me who is abrupt, are you free, let's go to my house to talk, my parents are not at home." ”
Chu Lan was worried that no one would discuss these things with her, and when she heard Chu Lan say this, of course she was willing.
Before leaving, Chu Lan instructed Taozhi and said, "Madame woke up and asked me where I went, so she said that I went to Miss Fu Linglan's house to play, and if Madame didn't ask, forget it." ”
Momozhi agreed and said, "Miss, you come back early." ”
Fu Linglan's house is very close to Chu Lan's house, only three alleys away. Fu Linglan said: "It's inconvenient for parents to be at home. ”
Chu Lan echoed: "Who said it wasn't, before you came to my house, I said a few words, and my mother didn't allow me to mention it, so it's convenient to go to your house." ”
Fu Linglan was thinking about figuring out Chu Li's background at the moment, and Chu Lan only felt unhappy not to vomit. The two tacitly thought of going together.
Fu Linglan walked quickly, and Chu Lan said behind him: "You slow down, I can't catch up with you." ”
Fu Linglan stopped to wait for Chu Lan, and she smiled: "Why are you walking so slowly." ”
Fu Linglan had a face that didn't match her name, she looked very quiet and talked a lot. But she knows herself very well, she is not obvious, and people who don't know her often mistake her for a quiet lady.
Fu Linglan asked Chu Lan to sit down in her room, and she asked without waiting for Chu Lan to speak: "You really said that it was the Seventh Prince who offered to marry your cousin, as the outside world said, right?" ”
Chu Lan nodded, and Fu Linglan asked, "Is she good-looking?" ”
Chu Lan said: "She looks very delicate, she is a small jasper type, and she is not a beauty." ”
Fu Linglan was surprised: "I thought she was as beautiful as a fairy, otherwise how could she fascinate the Seventh Prince, and she wouldn't marry?" ”
Although Chu Lan didn't like Chu Li, she still distinguished Chu Li: "She only came to Jiangcheng recently, and she is quite decent." ”
Fu Linglan asked, "Are you familiar with her, do you know her?" ”
Chu Lan said: "I haven't seen you for many years, so I'm not too familiar." ”
Fu Linglan said: "That's right, maybe she is pretending to be decent in front of you." ”
Chu Lan said with a little hesitation: "This is not necessary, right?" ”
Fu Linglan said with certainty: "You don't know that there are many people in front of you and behind you now, and few people are as simple as the two of us." If she didn't play any tricks, with her appearance, would Xie Shaoqing be able to look at her? ”
Chu Lan agreed with Fu Linglan's first half of the sentence, she said: "I also think that my cousin is very unusual, she has had a marriage contract with Chen Yanzhi since she was a child, Chen Yanzhi didn't want to marry her after the spring breeze was proud, so he asked his father to withdraw this family business, and within a few days of this family business, His Majesty sent someone to the door to propose marriage, you say it's strange." ”
Chu Liang could never have imagined that this marriage contract that ended without a problem would cause her so much trouble in the future.
Fu Linglan clasped her right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of her left hand, and said: "It's a little strange for you to say this, maybe your cousin seduced Xie Shaoqing before the Chen family withdrew from the marriage, and the Chen family's withdrawal from the marriage was exactly as she wanted." ”
When the people in Linjiang City heard that Xie Shaoqing had married Chu Li, they were all surprised, and they went their separate ways. There were only a few people talking about this matter behind their backs, and most of them thought about it the same as Fu Linglan, thinking that it was Chu Liang who confused Xie Shaoqing.
Although Chu Lan felt that Chu Liang was not worthy of Xie Shaoqing, she didn't think that Chu Liang had seduced Xie Shaoqing, she suddenly didn't want to talk to Fu Linglan about Chu Liang, she said: "Each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, not to mention that they are already married, if Xie Shaoqing is seduced by my cousin so easily, he will also be easily seduced by others." ”
Fu Linglan couldn't refute what Chu Lan said, she said, "Come and find a chance to meet your cousin in the future." ”
Chu Lan saw that Fu Linglan's parents were not at home, so she asked, "Where did my uncle and aunt go?" ”
Fu Linglan said: "My grandfather is unwell, and my father accompanied my mother back to visit my grandfather. ”
Chu Lan asked, "Why don't you go?" ”
Fu Linglan said: "I also want to go, my father said that there will be many outsiders at my grandfather's house, and said that it is not good for girls to show their heads, so they don't let me go, let me watch the house at home." ”
Chu Lan said: "I had my birthday some time ago, and you didn't come, your uncle is really strict with you." ”
Fu Linglan said: "Who said it wasn't, if he wasn't at home today, I wouldn't have been able to come to you." ”
Chu Lan smiled: "You really suffered. ”
Fu Linglan said: "Knowing that I suffered, you still laugh." ”
