Chapter 41: The Grand Gathering of the Royal Palace (3)
The two sisters-in-law of the Korean government will arrive last at any time, but the innocent Zhang Huixin gave everyone something again, so this belated matter is naturally no one to pursue it. Princess Jin instructed the girl to ask the daughters of the East and West Times to prepare, and then led the way out of the house, and the rest of the people followed. Zhang Huixin was happy that Chen Lan had just rounded her out, and she had recognized her before, so she took her hand and talked to the side, but the two fell behind.
It was gloomy for several days, and although it didn't snow, it was still cold. Suddenly from the warm room to the outside, although everyone changed into sheepskin boots and a large cloak to protect them from the cold, they couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Zhang Huixin rubbed his hands vigorously, took a sigh of relief and stomped his feet, and then took the hand stove handed over by the girl, glanced at the rose purple crane on Chen Lan's body, and said with a smile: "This dress was given by the eldest sister?" I also have an identical one, but I didn't wear it today! ”
Chen Lan saw that she shouted out in her voice without any scruples, and the person in front of her had already gone far, so she nodded, and said that it was the old lady's reward a few years ago. As soon as he heard this, Zhang Huixin looked at the color and style, and said with a smile: "It is said that the old lady in your house loves her granddaughter, and sure enough, the eldest sister of the crane honored the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt felt that the color was bright, and I gave it to me when I came back this time, I didn't expect that you were in your house." I was going to wear it out today, but my mother said that after all, it was originally my aunt's, and it was disrespectful to wear it, so I had to wear this peacock gold thread. ”
The two talked all the way forward, and before they knew it, they were far away from the people in front of them. When Chen Lan was at home, except for his younger brother and a few henchmen around him, there was no one else to talk to, so he had developed the habit of listening more and talking less, how could Zhang Huixin love to laugh the most, asking about the situation of the Hou Mansion for a while, complaining about her parents for a while and complaining that her parents had to force her to learn to be a girl, and then curiously asking Chen Lan about the legend of sacrificing himself to save his brother, and then talking about the books he likes to read these days. All in all, Chen Lan saw for the first time that among the daughters of the boudoir who smiled toothlessly in this era, there were such outliers who loved to talk and laugh.
"By the way, sister, do you know, today's plum appreciation, I heard that there is a lady in the palace who sent a female official to see each other!" Zhang Huixin saw the moon gate of the garden in front of him, but suddenly muttered softly to Chen Lan, "Everyone else envies the big sister, but I think it's the most boring to be a princess...... Luckily, I have my mother, so I don't have to be picked around like an animal here...... Oops, no, no, that's not what I meant! ”
Seeing that Zhang Huixin was full of chagrin, and then blinked at himself, as if thinking about how to apologize, Chen Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, you joke that we are livestock?" ”
"Good sister, don't say what I said, otherwise my sister-in-law will go back and tell my mother, and it will be a good scolding!" Zhang Huixin folded her hands and bowed to Chen Lan, seeing that she was only smiling and not talking, knowing that it must be fine, she laughed, and pulled her forward in a hurry, but asked in her mouth, "When I arrived in Jiangnan, I once asked people to bring things to the capital, did you keep the things for you?" ”
When it came to things, Chen Lan was a little hesitant, but after all, she liked Zhang Huixin's temperament, so she didn't want to prevaricate casually, and finally shook her head. As soon as she was in this situation, Zhang Huixin frowned, but soon stretched out, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just some Jiangnan fan ornaments and other gadgets, I forgot about it when I gave it away at home, and I'll send my mother-in-law to give you some more." By the way, you can be careful today, you don't have a father and mother above, in case someone randomly clicks the mandarin duck score, it will be terrible......"
Since being reborn in this strange era, Chen Lan has seen plans that are more or less calculating and malicious, with very few kind reminders, at this time, listening to Zhang Huixin's twitter and say some inappropriate suggestions to herself, she didn't feel funny, but had a faint warmth. When she vaguely saw the bright red color, her mood unconsciously improved.
"Look, isn't that your second sister?"
However, this good mood only came to naught for a moment. Chen Lan was looking at the plum trees in the courtyard, and Zhang Huixin, who had been looking around, suddenly pulled her sleeve and asked in a low voice. When she turned her head to look, she was taken aback, only to see that by the moon gate, a sneaky figure also looked at her at the same time, and as soon as she saw her, she immediately ran in with her skirt, who else should have been watched by Chen Bing?
Thinking that Xiuzhu disappeared not long after entering the Water Dream Pavilion at that time, and thought that she was ordered by Princess Jin to deal with Chen Bing's affairs, but at this time, people still came, and she couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
After a while, Zhang Huixin asked curiously: "Didn't your second uncle just be robbed, why did your second sister come?" ”
At this moment, Chen Lan couldn't help but gently rub his temples with his thumb and middle finger. It doesn't matter if Chen Bing is making a fool of herself alone, but now that the second uncle Chen Jiu has just been robbed of his title, what good will this reckless move do to herself? Thinking that Chen Bing got into the sedan chair at the second gate before, it was very likely that she didn't know what strategy she had used to slip out halfway, so she pulled Zhang Huixin up and said without thinking: "Sister Huixin, let's go in quickly, don't let the second sister break into any trouble." ”
Zhang Huixin's eyes widened: "Disaster? At most, people just gossip about her, what can be the trouble? Besides, maybe your second sister is just bored at home, so come out to relax, what's the matter! ”
For this explanation, Chen Lan really didn't know what to say, so he had to vaguely perfunctory, and dragged her into the moon gate, and didn't go far, she saw Xiuzhu hurriedly walking here, seeing that she was stunned for a moment when she looked at her, and then stepped forward to salute. She didn't care about that much, so she hurriedly left Zhang Huixin and pulled the embroidered bamboo aside.
"Sister Xiuzhu, you just saw my second sister come in!"
"The slave was about to talk about it." Xiuzhu's brows furrowed, and then he sighed, "The second young lady has been here before, and the road is familiar, and I don't know which little hoof in the house is used to consume, so I actually brought people here...... Fortunately, let the slave maid bump into her, and just let the girl take the person to the princess, it is better than letting the second lady turn around here. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Huixin, who was full of concern over there, and then smiled with a pun: "With the princess here, the affairs of the second lady can always cover up the past." But the slave maid still has one thing to ask the third lady, my second girl's big temper few people can bear, back to Beijing these days I have seen a lot of young ladies of the same age, not others to her submissive, in the end she lost her temper, or she said endlessly, people are impatient. Just now, the eldest grandmother asked the slave maid to pick two people to follow the second girl, but the house is so lively today, where can you pick out additional people? If the third lady agrees, the second girl will be entrusted to you, so as not to worry about my princess and grandmother. ”
Chen Lan glanced at Zhang Huixin, who was probing his brain over there, and agreed without much hesitation, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
This straightforward and unwitting temperament has become a hate?
