Chapter 18: Brother and sister-in-law

Zhuo Zhaocui drank like this, and the person who came in not only did not go out, but closed the 'door' with his hand, and scolded softly: "Can't you talk well?" If you're listening to people outside, don't gossip! ”

But it was Gu Pan'er, and I don't know how long she listened outside, Zhuo Zhaocui was angry with herself when she saw her fiancΓ©e coming in, and she was also a little sneering, and coughed dryly: "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Pan'er ignored him, and first went to Zhuo Zhaojie's side and said softly: "Xiao Qi Niang, don't be sad, your starling brother is such a anxious 'sex'. It's nothing more than that I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss when you're young and ignorant of things, but then again, between the Zhuo family and the Ning family's second room, the elders are not harmonious, although our group of people will not be like each other, but they can't talk about deep 'friendship', you sit with Ning Shizi like this, and turn back to the 'spring' banquet is over, can the elders not ask? You just returned to Chang'an, where is your starling who knows the 'temperament' of the elders in the family? It's better to tell what happened, so that you starling can help you give a detailed answer, so as not to go back and be wronged. ”

As he spoke, he helped her sit down, and said softly, "You say, isn't this the reason?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie has been favored since he was a child, and when he was in Moling, although there were times when he was reprimanded and punished for doing something wrong, Ban never gave her no face in front of outsiders, and she had to cry a while - although this Gu Pan'er had never been The sister-in-law of the door, who is unfamiliar, is really ashamed and annoyed when she bumps into this scene, tears are rolling vigorously in her eyes, she can't fall off, she is very aggrieved, but what Gu Paner said is reasonable, although her attitude is kind, she faintly raised her sister-in-law's shelf, although Zhuo Zhaojie is smart and clever, she is not as good as Ning Shaobi, and she has a little respect for her future sister-in-law, which will be asked by her nod, and she quietly blinked away her tears by taking the opportunity to sit down.

Gu Paner asked, "Then how did you and him meet?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Two years ago, I was swimming in the lake with your cousin, cousin, and cousin, and I was rescued by him when I encountered danger, and he said it didn't matter at that time...... Later, I was afraid that my grandfather and grandmother would know about the punishment, so I hid this matter, but after a while, my cousin was falsely accused, and it was Ning Jiu who helped him get out, and my grandmother knew that we were hiding the matter, so she made someone go to the 'door' to thank you......"

Zhuo Zhaocui and Gu Pan'er obviously have a bad impression of Ning Shaobi, Zhuo Zhaojie doesn't care about Yin Yuan scaring him now, but letting his brother and future sister-in-law know that it must be another reason, so she deliberately vaguely past.

It's just that Gu Pan'er was 'shrewd' and immediately asked: "It is said that many of you swim in the lake, where will you not bring a 'maid' entourage to listen to it?" What happened to him, and the people around him were not satisfied, but asked Ning Shizi to take action? ”

Zhuo Zhaocui also said suspiciously: "Why didn't I hear you talk about this when I was in Jiangnan?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Because at that time, I was greedy for watching a hundred dramas, and I didn't pay attention to leaving everyone around me behind. Zhuo Zhaojie said stiffly, "It was also sudden, but I just knew him at the time." ”

Hearing her obvious avoidance, Zhuo Zhaocui was very dissatisfied, and was about to ask, but was stopped by Gu Pan'er's eyes, and said, "What about later?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Later, I became familiar with the coincidence after a few times. ”

Gu Pan'er said: "Hey, is that it? I heard from your starling brother that he came to pick you up on the day you returned to Chang'an...... Thanks to Su Shi beside him, he is measured, and I just called you, he seems to be pestering you very much? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhuo Zhaocui to tell this fiancΓ©e everything, and he was a little annoyed with Zhuo Zhaocui in shame, so he said with a slight anger: "Sister Gu knows everything, what do I have to say?" It's just that I didn't do anything with him, just sat at the table together, what can I do in this blue sky and white day? When I went back, I 'handed over' to my elders myself, so why punish me for myself! ”

Zhuo Zhaocui said angrily: "You still dare to say such angry words, I will tell you ......"

"That's it!" Gu Pan'er saw that their brother and sister were about to quarrel, so she hurriedly stopped drinking, and said softly to Zhuo Zhaojie, "You misunderstood your starling, how do you think I know these things?" Supposedly, although I am your sister-in-law who didn't pass the 'door', but you just came back, we haven't met seriously, only your starling brother is drunk, and your cousin and cousin are here, and it won't be my turn to look for you, right? ”

Gu Pan'er has a calm bearing, even if he mentions his relationship with Zhuo Zhaojie, he is not shy, he only seems to be unhurried and calm.

Zhuo Zhaojie can't help this kind of person, she is not a nonsense and unreasonable little lady, she was defeated under Gu Paner's attitude of neither humble nor arrogant, and said sullenly: "How do I know? ”

"It's because your starling brother and his entourage are entangled by Ning Shizi's acquaintance' and the Shijia Wulang monarch's servants, and they can't get out of the slightest." Gu Pan'er was 'lusting' and said, "So when your cousin Ruan sent someone to look for your starling, he found me to go to the round, don't think that your cousin Ruan is careful to sue you!" Before I went to look for you, I sent him to pretend that he didn't know about it, and he shouldn't have been involved, and you listened to meβ€”

"You just arrived in Chang'an, not many people know you, and I don't know what kind of person you are, but this Chang'an, especially at this banquet today, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know Ning Jiu, in this case, do you know what the fate is when you sit with Ning Jiu?"

Gu Pan'er didn't wait for her to answer, and said, "Naturally, others think that Ning Jiu is a kind of person, and you are almost the same, but this is not the worst, the worst thing is that Ning Jiusu is better with Shi Wu and Chun Yu Thirteen, these two people, there are basically few people who are serious people's little ladies in ordinary interactions!" Serious little ladies will be suspicious of them if they have more...... You said that although your cousin Ruan has only met you once, can you not serve you snacks for your aunt's sake? ”

Seeing Zhuo Zhaojie frowning and silent, Gu Pan'er said again, "Of course, I can't say that Ning Shizi has the intention to harm you, he is a person, he is also in Chang'an, I also know a little about him, his identity is dictated, and he is spoiled by Princess Jiyang, he has never taken the opinions and discussions of others in his eyes, and he does everything like no one else, so I didn't expect to walk with you at this time and do you a disadvantage!" But you can't help but think about it, we can't help but think about it, your starling brother is just anxious about this, I was called to see him drunk, and I asked him to send him to you without asking a word, I am also strange, we have a cool air and an open atmosphere, what is the big deal with the little lady and Lang Jun talking and laughing, and even feasting and drinking? In order to convince me, your starling explained what had happened, so that I agreed to look for you, do you know that your starling didn't take your story and spread it around? ”

Gu Pan'er laughed again when she said this, and said angrily, "If he does such a thing, I can't spare him!" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui frowned and looked at Zhuo Zhaojie.

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled reluctantly.

…… This progress, Gu Pan'er quickly cut the 'mess' and said: "In short, I say bluntly, the marriage is a major matter, the parents are in charge, and now your brothers and sisters are fighting here, is it useful?" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui was quietly glared at by her, and then said: "She is disobedient, I ......"

Gu Pan'er flew an eye knife and said to Zhuo Zhaojie: "Alas, I know why you are wronged, your starling brother is so can't speak, don't hide it from you, I haven't been angry with him, let's ignore him, listen to me, the matter between you and Ning Shizi, after you go back, please ask your parents to call the shots, now everyone is here to go to the princess's 'spring' banquet, and it's not happy to argue here, isn't this reason?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

"Good." Gu Pan'er smiled and said, "Ask Ah Xing to take you to wash your face, straighten out your clothes, and you will follow me after a while." ”

Seeing Zhuo Zhaojie looking at himself in surprise, Gu Pan'er said calmly: "Didn't I just tell you?" Now that you are walking with Ning Shizi, it is not good for you, you just said that he really likes you, since this is the case, there is absolutely nothing that is not considered for you, is it? It's just that he didn't expect it before, and he can't be blamed for this, after all, he dragged you down and got a bad reputation, your elders, how can you not anger him? What's in it for the two of you? You listen to me, from this meeting, to the end of the 'spring' banquet, just follow me, just right, I will take you to know more people, in the future you also have a walk, soon the peony 'flower' will arrive, Chang'an is not as clean as Jiangnan, such a lively festival is more, you always have to have a few young ladies who seem to be in and out together. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "I have made an appointment with Xiao Liuniang of the Wen family to go to the peony 'flower' meeting. ”

Gu Pan'er smiled and said, "Really? The Wen family's little six mothers are good, but there are many people worth knowing in Chang'an, such as today's owner, Princess Yikang, don't you want to see it? Chang'an's most famous talented 'woman' Su Yixiao, the king of Zhending, the little lord of Jin, and the princess of Guang...... Now that you are going to live in Chang'an for a long time, where can these people not know each other? Except for opportunities like today, I have to admit them one by one, and I can't delay this business. ”

She said left and right, persuaded Zhuo Zhaojie to calm down her emotions, and took a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears on her face, and then went to open the 'door', called Ah Xing and Ah Li and others, who had only met outside, and told them to wait for Zhuo Zhaojie to clean up next door.

Gu Pan'er herself beckoned the maid and Zhuo Shu to come and serve the two of them to freshen upβ€”because they were both close confidants, Zhuo Zhaocui asked again: "Why did you come in?" ”

"Aren't you worried that you're stiff?" Gu Pan'er frowned and said, "Sure enough, I know that you are in such a hurry." Is this your sister or your enemy? ”

Zhuo Zhaocui said: "You may not have heard clearly outside, Qi Niang is too stubborn, I am her brother-in-law, can I still hurt her?" She is so disobedient, can I not be in a hurry for her? ”

"If you're in a hurry, you can talk well, don't you want to think about her as a talented little lady, who has always been pampered, and heard a few words of scolding when she was a child?" Gu Pan'er straightened up her makeup with the target mirror held by the 'female', and complained in a low voice, "Zhuo Xiaoliu Niang and Xiao Banniang still grew up in front of you, and you haven't scolded them so much, can Xiao Qi Niang stand it?" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui frowned and said, "Those two are cousins, and besides, the eldest uncle and the third uncle are here, how can I take care of the affairs in their room?" ”

"yes, you know that, too?" Gu Pan'er asked the 'girl' to put away the target glass, and said, "Your parents are here, and you still have brothers and sisters above you, not to mention that Xiao Qi Niang is right, she is only getting closer to Ning Shizi now, and she hasn't done anything, you are so anxious and white-faced, if I hadn't been outside for you, she wouldn't have made a big deal out of it, but you hurt her!" ”

Zhuo Zhaocui was already worried about Zhuo Zhaojie, but when he heard his fiancΓ©e accuse him of everything, he was a little displeased, and said, "Why is she right but am I wrong?" ”

Gu Pan'er heard the displeasure in his tone, but she only smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Qi Niang is wrong, I won't say it, I just heard you say a few words, where do you know what happened?" But you just attacked her absolutely wrong, don't you fight with me first, what is this place? It's Princess Yikang's 'spring' banquet, don't you know what happened to the people who have always swept the princess's interest? Besides, can this kind of thing be troubled? You really think it's good for Xiao Qi Niang, so hurry up and don't mention it again! ”

Zhuo Zhaocui was taken aback by these words, and said, "Yes...... I'm really so angry with her that I forgot about it. ”

"Don't always say that Xiao Qi Niang is wrong, she is young, she is favored by her elders, and it is common for her to be inconsiderate." Gu Pan'er stood up, asked the maid to adjust the shawl for herself, and said, "You are her brother, it is right to make up for her-oh, I will take her to Princess Yikang, what about you, go to Ning Shizi, remember to speak well, and repeat to him the reason I said to Xiao Qi Niang just now, didn't he say that he was sincere to Xiao Qi Niang?" Didn't you say that you want to be good to Xiao Qi Niang? If it's all true, then don't come over to harm Xiao Qi Niang! ”

Gu Pan'er narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself Ning Jiu, you kid, if you are really shameless to the end, I won't be able to clean you up?!
