Just as he was distracted, there was a sudden sound of conversation outside the courtyard.

Luo Zhen was stunned, this was a woman's voice, but in the Commander's Mansion, those maids and women would not talk in such a tone, or outside her courtyard.

She straightened up, shouted to Yayu beside her, and said, "Yayu, are there any guests here today?" ”

Yayu shook her head blankly: "I haven't heard of it, I'll help you go out and have a look." ”

Luo Zhen nodded.

Soon, Yayu came back and said in surprise: "Miss, it is a young lady surnamed Yan who has come, and they said that they came to visit you. ”

Luo Zhen was surprised, "Let her in!" ”

It can't be the one she thinks, right?

I saw a beautiful woman walk in.

Sure enough, it's Yan Xiting! Luo Zhen was stunned, hurriedly got up to greet him, walked up and said, "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Xiting looked at her, shook her finger, and said with a smile: "Miss Luo, let's sit down and talk." ”

Luo Zhen's delicate face showed a shallow smile, and nodded, "Please come into the house." ”

The two walked into the room and sat down, Yan Xiting took off the snow-white fox on her body, revealing the red cheongsam with gold trim on her body, which was as bright as a begonia flower, she took a sip of the water handed over by Yayu, and then sent the carved lacquer box in her hand to Luo Zhen, "Look, I also brought you a gift." ”

"What's so embarrassing?" Luo Zhen was flattered and took it.

"You're welcome, I saw that you were very interested in Chinese pastries that day, thinking that you must have not eaten much of these abroad, so I specially bought this osmanthus cake when I passed by Taipingfang, sweet but not greasy, you can taste it when you are hungry."

"Thank you so much. Miss Yan, why are you here? Luo Zhen smiled and looked at her, she was really impressed by the woman in front of her, and she was grateful for her being so kind and gentle, she only felt that she was generous and kind.

Yan Xiting briefly looked at Luo Zhen, saw that she was wearing a blue brocade coat, and then smiled: "Don't think I'm familiar, did you receive the invitation?" I met my sister a few days ago, and I thought that my sister was a rare talent, and I wanted to make friends, but I thought that my sister should not be able to go out easily. No, it's okay today, I originally invited you to come, but then I thought it would be more sincere for me to come to the door in person. ”

Luo Zhen felt a little guilty: "Miss Yan, I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, I know your inconvenience." Yan Xiting said empathetically.

It turned out that Yan Xiting had brought an invitation to Luo Zhen in recent days, wanting to invite her to Yan's mansion to play, but Luo Zhen was entangled in whether he wanted to go.

was struggling, but this Miss Yan suddenly visited.

Luo Zhen smiled lightly when he heard this.

Yan Xiting smiled, and then said: "My sister is so beautiful and moving, beautiful and beautiful, and has a bit of weak willow support wind and pitiful charm, it is simply the birth of Lin Daiyu in "The Story of Stones". ”

Luo Zhen didn't know about this "Stone Story", but when he heard Yan Xiting praise herself, she couldn't help but feel slightly hot on her cheeks, and she was a little embarrassed.

Since coming to Beiping, no one has praised herself so much, she seems to relieve herself: "I don't know what "The Stone" is? ”

Yan Xiting said: "It's a huge work in the former Qing Dynasty, I have a complete collection at home, do you want to read it?" ”

"Okay, I'll definitely visit another day when I have time."

After Yan Xiting left, Luo Zhen opened the food box.

The plum blossom cake is delicate and white, sprinkled with a layer of honey, and decorated with honey-stained cherries to form the appearance of red plums, just like red plum proud snow, gently put a piece into the mouth, melt in the mouth, fragrant, really delicious and beautiful.

Luo Zhen's porcelain-white cheeks were faintly red, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Miss, this Miss Yan is really good."

"yes."

At dinner, Luo Fuzhou came back, and he and Luo Zhen sat at the dinner table to eat together.

In the past few days, he seems to be busier, he is not at home all day, he didn't even come back yesterday, and he only came back by car this evening.

Luo Zhen knew that he was busy with official business and military, and he would never ask him.

Luo Fuzhou suddenly spoke: "The eldest lady of the Yan family visited our house today?" ”

Luo Zhen heard his tone lightly, afraid that he would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Father, it's nothing, she came to bring me a box of pastries and left." ”

Luo Fuzhou nodded, "What else?" ”

Luo Zhen hesitated: "She wants to make friends with me, and then invite me to go out next time." ”

Luo Fuzhou nodded, then looked at her expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, if you want to go, you can go, don't worry." ”

"As for the rumors about the Luo family and the Yan family, you don't have to worry about it, these have nothing to do with you, you can't stay at home all the time, it's good for you to make some friends."

Luo Zhen smiled slightly, and there was warmth in her heart, she knew that her father was afraid that she would be uncomfortable in Beijing.

"But if you meet that kid from the Yan family, try to avoid it." Luo Fuzhou suddenly spoke.

Luo Zhen was shocked.

"That kid is ruthless and arrogant, I don't want you to be targeted by him, I heard some time ago that he saw you in the backyard."

Luo Zhen remembered the scene of being terrified outside the door of the study.

Needless to say, she wouldn't have come near this man.

"Second Shao, I saw the eldest lady's car stop in front of Luofu today, and the eldest lady came out of Luofu about two hours after entering Luofu."

"Big sister?" Yan Xiaxuan frowned thickly, and the expression on his deep face was dark and difficult to understand.

He seemed to think for a while, and then spoke: "Is there any movement in Luofu?" Especially the young lady of the Luo family, did she go out? ”

"Nope." So said the subordinates.

Yan Xiaxuan lowered his eyebrows and commanded in a deep voice, "Then guard, and send two more clever people to go, if there is any wind and grass in Luofu, if there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately, especially pay more attention to that Miss Luo." ”

“…… Be. ”

Ershao, something is wrong with you.

He, a brother who could be born and died for him on the battlefield, was arranged by him to guard a girl, and he was somewhat disgraced.

Ershao, if you are worried about other girls, you will go directly to the door, what is going on in the dark like this? It's not what you used to be.

After his subordinates left, Yan Xiaxuan was left alone in the office, closing his eyes.

He thinks that he is not very fanatical about this Luo Zhen, if she is beautiful and moving, his former girlfriend is not without her surpassing her, but......

Thinking about the day he first saw him, the girl's gentle tone and gentle gaze, he couldn't help but clench his hands.

She shouldn't have slipped out of her hands that day.

Coincidentally, in the following days, the first snow of this winter finally fell in Beiping. The entire city of Beiping was shrouded in snow.

But the snow was not heavy, it only fell for one day, and the next day it stopped, and the sun came out.

There were people clearing snow on the streets, and the snow melted quickly, without affecting people's travel.

Maybe it's because of the fresh snowfall, but the sky is clear and clear, and the air is cool.

Under the clear sun, a car slowly stopped in front of the most luxurious Ruyi restaurant in Beiping City.

"Miss, it's here." Xia Yingban was the first to get out of the car and said respectfully to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen got out of the car, she was wearing a long cheongsam with an apricot yellow satin bottom, the neckline was also inlaid with a circle of white fluff, and the crow's sideburns exposed half of her white greasy neck. She stared at the sign of Ruyi Restaurant in front of her.

"Is it Miss Luo?" Someone was already waiting for her at the door, and when she saw her car from afar, she knew that it must not be an ordinary person, so she hurriedly stepped forward to wait.

Seeing her get out of the car, I saw her appearance, stunning and charming, beautiful and elegant, especially today she is dressed like a delicate apricot blossom in the cold wind, it is difficult to forget it when I see it, the person was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and asked.

Luo Zhen nodded.

The man showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly said, "Please follow me in, Miss Yan has been waiting for a long time." ”

Luo Zhen looked at Xia Yingsaka beside him, nodded and said, "Let's go in." ”

Xia Yingsaka nodded lightly.

Although the weather is cold and snowing, the business of this restaurant is booming, and the scattered seats below the Ruyi Restaurant are already full.

Luckily, the stairs were at the entrance to the entrance, and the few of them didn't attract the attention of the others.

When I went upstairs, I saw Yan Xiting walking towards the stairs, and someone had obviously reported her news.

"Sister, you're here!" Yan Xiting greeted her, and there was a faint smile between her beautiful eyebrows.

When she saw Xia Yingsaka, she was surprised: "Who is this?" ”

"Hello Miss Yan, I am the person who the commander specially ordered to pick up the young lady, you don't have to care, I will go down in a while."

"Oh, that's it." When Yan Xiting heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and then she smiled.

"I'll take you to our private room." Yan Xiting said and led the way in front.

"Here, the Lan Zi private room."

The door of the private room was not closed, but only gently closed, but there were two guards in military uniforms standing on the left and right, standing very straight, with cold expressions, big shoulders and round waists, and an awe-inspiring momentum.

Seeing them, the two soldiers bowed to Yan Xiting, "Miss." ”

Yan Xiting nodded and said, "It's hard work." Then he took the lead and walked in, followed by Luo Zhen and Xia Yingsaka.

Several people walked in.

I saw that this private room was very large, and it was obviously reserved for distinguished guests.

The private room is large and quiet, with a long table and round chair in the middle, a mountain stream orchid picture hanging on the wall, an incense burner on one side is also an orchid pattern, and a hazy light gauze landscape painting screen is placed in the room, which is antique.

There is also a small terrace outside this private room, and you can see the noisy street from the railing.

There were several women sitting inside, and when they saw them, they all stood up.

Luo Zhen took a look and saw a few acquaintances, including Miss Luo and Miss Shen who met that day.

Luo Yushan wore a big black camellia and a butterfly-carved silk cheongsam today, which made her more and more delicate, with snowy skin and flowers, and a pair of bright eyebrows and eyes revealing a Ling Ran arrogance.

Another Miss Shen is that Yi cousin, who was also elegant and moving, wearing an emerald cheongsam today, and immediately greeted her with a smile when she saw her.

Shen Xinyi stepped forward and grabbed Luo Zhen's hand, "Long time no see, does Miss Luo still remember me?" ”

Luo Zhen also had a good impression of this Miss Shen, and a trace of joy burst out of her beautiful eyes, "Sister Yi." ”

Compared with Shen Xinyi, Luo Yushan was much colder, she didn't step forward, and stood not far away looking at Luo Zhen.

looked at her delicate face as white as jade, and then looked at her whole body, and secretly compared with her in my heart.
