Chapter 198: Distinguished guests come to the door
Chu Peijin's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Why are you panicking?" Isn't something wrong? β
Cuizhi knew that his master had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, nothing happened." It's that Miss Ouyang has arrived, and the old lady saw that you hadn't gone yet, so she asked Sister Hongying to look for you, but you weren't there......"
Chu Peijin's face changed, and then she realized that she had just been in the abandoned courtyard for a long time! Before, she had said to the old lady that she was going to see if Miss Ouyang was here, but now it's good......
"Where's Hongying?"
Chu Peijin pressed the thought in her heart and asked as she hurriedly walked back.
Cuizhi followed closely behind her and said, "It should still be in the courtyard!" The slave maid has just come out to look for you...... By the way, girl, where have you been? β
Chu Peijin choked and didn't answer her question.
Nian Xue, who had never spoken, said: "The girl thinks that Miss Ouyang is coming over, so let's see where there are beautiful flowers and pick a few branches and insert them in the room, so as to add a few colors!" β
Cuizhi's face was abrupt and said, "Oh! Say it earlier, just let the slave go! After speaking, he saw that Chu Peijin and Nian Xue were empty-handed, and he was surprised, "Isn't it?" Didn't find a single flower? β
Chu Peijin's footsteps froze, and he turned his head to look at Nian Xue. But seeing that Nian Xue still kept her face unchanged, she was talking nonsense: "It's not that I haven't found it, it's that I can't get into the girl's eyes!" β
Chu Peijin couldn't help but raise a big finger towards Nian Xue, and entered Qinglan Courtyard happily.
Sure enough, Hongying was wandering in the yard with an anxious face, and Cuizhu was patiently accompanying her next to her. When the two of them saw Chu Peijin's figure appear at the door, they were all relieved!
"Girl, Miss Ouyang has already come to the house, and the old lady asks you to go over and accompany the guests."
Chu Peijin said with a smile: "I was supposed to go to Ermen to have a look, but who knew that someone would come before I went." You go back and report to your grandmother that I'll change my clothes and go over!" β
Hongying lowered her eyes and saw some fragments of grass clippings under the hem of Chu Peijin's dress, her eyes flashed slightly, and she replied quietly: "Slave maid, let's go and talk back!" β
Chu Peijin took her gaze in her eyes, but she didn't care. After Hongying left, she told Cuizhi to go to the garden to pick a few flowers and put them in a vase, and then she changed into an emerald green dress and took Nianxue and Cuizhu to the old lady.
When the old lady saw her, she complained angrily: "You child! said yes to pick up the Jinglan girl, but the Jinglan girl has entered the house but there is no trace of you, where are you spilling again? β
On the side, Ouyang Jinglan looked at Chu Peijin with a smile on her face.
Chu Peijin smiled wryly and said, "Grandmother, Jin'er is wrong!" I just went back to prepare some things for hospitality, but I found that the house was too monotonous, so I thought about going to the garden to pick a few flowers and put them on a swing, who would have expected that Sister Ouyang would come in such a hurry, I, I missed the opportunity to greet me in person......"
Ouyang Jinglan smiled and said, "Sister Jin, you are too enthusiastic, right?" Who are we with, I don't care about that little bit of courtesy! β
The old lady was originally a little worried that Ouyang Jinglan would be unhappy, but now she saw that she didn't care at all, and she really took Chu Peijin as a good sister, how could she be unhappy? Therefore, she also laughed and quipped: "You kid! It's okay to leave these things to the girls to do, it's better for you, and you go to pick them yourself, isn't it bad to see people in disgrace? β
As soon as Chu Peijin came in, the old lady found that she had changed her clothes, and she was still puzzled, but now she can be regarded as understanding the truth of the matter.
Chu Peijin's face was slightly embarrassed, and she said coquettishly with a hint of shyness: "Grandmother-"
"Huh! Okay, okay, let's not talk about it! Jin girl is thin-skinned ......"
Chu Peijin was a little embarrassed when she heard this, if she was thin-skinned, then the faces of the other girls would be as thin as cicada wings!
"Grandmother, can I take Sister Jinglan out for a walk?"
She didn't dare to stay with the old lady and Guan Duo anymore, she was really afraid of staying for a long time.
"Go, go, go! Don't slack off your guests! β
It wasn't until he pulled Ouyang Jinglan out of the courtyard that Chu Peijin breathed a sigh of relief!
At this time, many guests had come to the house one after another, so when the two of them were just about to cross the garden, they met Chu Peixuan who was accompanying a few girls through the garden to the flower hall over there.
People on both sides met so coincidentally!
"Big sister, are you also here to greet the county lord of Dexin?" Chu Peixuan's clear and green voice like a warbler was more beautiful than usual, but Chu Peijin kept a wooden face, and she didn't even move her eyebrows.
She glanced at several girls beside Chu Peixuan, in addition to the county lord of Dexin, there were Fu Yanjun and Fu San, Zhu Jinhua and Zhu Er, as well as Xia Yixue, the cousin of the Xia family, and Xia Qingluan.
"The courtiers have seen the county lord of Dexin!" Speaking of the nobles present, the status of the county lord of Dexin is higher than theirs, and Chu Peijin doesn't want to set up such an enemy, so naturally there will be no mistakes in the rules.
For Chu Peijin's acquaintance, Mo Qingqing, the county lord of Dexin, is still quite satisfied, although she still occupies the title of King Kang's fiancΓ©e, but she feels that Chu Peijin is not worthy of King Kang at all, because she doesn't really take her seriously.
In addition, Fu Yanjun's thoughts about King Kang have been seen through by her, so she feels that her biggest rival at present is the third girl Fu who follows behind her, so she naturally doesn't care about a little person like Chu Peijin.
"No excuses!" The county lord of Dexin raised his eyes and looked at the girl beside Chu Peijin, frowned slightly, and asked, "I don't know if this girl is-"
Ouyang Jinglan has indeed not been out of the house for many years, although her situation is different from Chu Peijin, but the time is almost the same, because many people can't recognize it!
Chu Peijin took Ouyang Jinglan's hand and introduced with a smile: "County Lord, this is Ouyang girl!" β
Mo Qingqing was stunned for a moment, a name suddenly flashed in his mind, and he unconsciously exclaimed, "But Ouyang Jinglan? β
Ouyang Jinglan smiled slightly, blessed her, and said, "The county lord still remembers the courtier, but the courtier is inexplicably moved. β
When they were young, they actually met, but they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and the appearance of the two of them had changed somewhat, and they didn't recognize each other for a while.
Chu Peixuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Since everyone is so familiar, why don't we go to the flower hall together to sit and talk!" β
The county lord of Dexin really wanted to chat with Ouyang Jinglan, so he was the first to agree, and personally took Ouyang Jinglan's hand and took the lead in the flower hall, Chu Peijin glanced at Ouyang Jinglan and nodded at her, and then followed behind and prepared to go over.
"Miss Chu, can you take a step to speak?" Fu Yanjun suddenly stopped her behind her.
