"What my mother said is, no matter what others think, now we are all children of the Xu family, and going out will represent the face of the Xu family, and we must not let people look down on it, seventh brother, don't cause trouble today!" Xu Mingchen straightened his back, and swept around lightly with a clear gaze, quite the bearing of a noble son.

"Big brother, you and your mother can rest assured, I am not the same person I used to be!" Xu Minghao also straightened his small chest and raised his head, his mother was right, they can see it if they want, anyway, they can't see a flower.

The Lei family of Zhenguo Mansion is rich and rich, and has built a very large Keju Garden in the capital, the garden is divided into two large courtyards before and after, the front yard is used to entertain guests and set up banquets, the back yard is used to Keju competition, and there are stands on the periphery of the venue for guests to watch.

As soon as the guests enter the park, there are special subordinates to lead the way, the female relatives enter the west side of the front yard, and the male guests enter the east side of the front yard, and the participants can directly enter the back yard, where there are also special people to receive them.

"Mother, we want to stay with Big Brother and them!" Entering the Keju Garden, Lin Shuran originally planned to take Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng, the two little ones, but it was also the first time for them to participate in the Keju Party, and they were all very excited, especially when they saw that many children were running in the direction of the backyard, and their souls were about to float away.

"Then don't run around, you must follow your brothers!" Lin Shuran arranged.

"Madam, don't worry, the slaves will be optimistic about your young masters!" Xu An also came today, and when he went out to the banquet, Lin Shuran couldn't take care of so many people alone.

With Xu An following and a secret guard guarding them, Lin Shuran was not so worried, so he led Chunxi to the west side to greet the master's house.

At this moment, the reception hall on the west side of Keju Garden was already very lively, Lin Shuran just walked in front of the Lei family and waited for the Lei family's subordinates to enter the master's house, when he saw a pink figure rushing out, and then came to him, grabbed his hand and said happily: "Sister Ran, you are finally here, I am still worried that you will not come!" ”

Looking at the young woman with bright eyes and bright teeth in front of her, Lin Shuran first looked at her with a strange and stunned expression, and then saw a lively and lovely little girl from her burning and bright eyes, and then suddenly a lot of memories about her flooded into her mind, and then became familiar.

"Sister Yingying?" Lin Shuran's slightly rusty words made Lei Yingying's happy face dim suddenly, it seems that the rumors are true, they all say that Lin Shuran was too sad because of Gu Jingcheng's death, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and he didn't recognize people very much.

"Sister Ran, I haven't seen you for three years, so you don't recognize me!" Lei Yingying suddenly hugged Lin Shuran sadly, "I'm your best friend, have you really forgotten?" ”

Faced with Lei Yingying's similar accusation inquiry, Lin Shuran raised her hand and patted her back with some embarrassment, Lei Yingying is the beloved daughter of Lei Yi, the prince of Zhenguo, who is warm and generous, when she first came to Keju Garden to watch Gu Jingcheng's game, she became good friends at first sight, but in the year Gu Jingcheng went to the battlefield, she married Yunzhou, and in a flash, the two have not seen each other for more than three years.

"I haven't forgotten, you promised to bring me crisp pears from Yunzhou, but you brought them?" Lin Shuran asked deliberately jokingly, separating himself from Lei Yingying, and the two of them faced each other face to face.

Lei Yingying immediately smiled: "Of course I brought it, I'll send it to you in person when I go back, let's go, let's find a place to talk alone!" ”

As she spoke, Lei Yingying pulled Lin Shuran to go somewhere else, but Lin Shuran didn't follow her immediately, but grabbed her and said, "Sister Yingying, I haven't seen my aunt yet, wait a while!" ”

"Look at me patronizing and happy, forgetting that you are married, you can't run away with me like you used to!" Lei Yingying said with some regret.

Then, Lei Yingying affectionately took Lin Shuran's hand and entered the hall, at this time, the hall was already full of female dependents from various provinces according to their grades, and many people were standing and laughing and talking, and when the two came in, everyone stopped their voices and looked at them, especially Lin Shuran.

Many people present have seen Lin Shuran a few times, when she was in the boudoir, but it attracted many people to come to the door to ask for marriage, but she was all focused on Gu Jingcheng, the son of the Gu family, and delayed his youth for three years, although she is also married, but in the minds of many people present, they all feel that she is a pity, marrying Xu Junze, who is powerful but has no family to help her, and has thirteen more sons as soon as she enters the door, life must not be so easy.

Lin Shuran gave the Duchess of Zhenguo Yang and others in turn in turn to salute her generously and naturally, some people returned the salute with her in a friendly manner, of course, there were also people like Qi Rouer and Su Wanwan who just glanced at her contemptuously and did not take her in their eyes, and Lin Shuran did not mind.

Lei Yingying knew that Lin Shuran didn't like this kind of occasion where there were many women and were too lively, it was too tiring to talk on such occasions, these women in the back house always talked with insinuations, and there were more eyes than lotus eyes, and it was really tiring to get along with.

"Mother, I haven't seen Sister Ran for many years, and I have a lot to say, so I'll go out first!" Although Lei Yingying is married, she is still coquettish like a little girl in front of her mother Yang.

Yang doted on her very much, so he tapped her forehead and smiled helplessly in agreement.

It's just that when Lei Yingying pulled Lin Shuran out of the hospitality hall, she met Gu Jingcheng's mother Guo Shi and his sister Gu Xiruo outside.

The two of them didn't seem to expect to meet Lin Shuran like this, and they were stunned for a while, and the moment they saw Guo and Gu Xiruo, the memories of them also revived in their minds, Lin Shuran walked up to Guo with a calm face and gave her a formal salute.

"Shu Ran has seen Aunt Gu, how are you doing lately?" In her memory, Guo has always been very good to Lin Shuran, and has always treated her as her future daughter-in-law and daughter, but since Gu Jingcheng died, she and Guo have never met again.

Guo's eyes were slightly red and he looked at Lin Shuran, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was sad, because as soon as she saw Lin Shuran, she thought of her son Gu Jingcheng, if Gu Jingcheng hadn't died, he and Lin Shuran would have been married and had children, but now that her son is gone, the daughter-in-law she identified has also become someone else's, and this huge sense of disparity makes her hands tremble slightly.

Gu Xiruo didn't expect that three years later, her mother would be so excited to see Lin Shuran, she hurriedly supported Guo, but glanced at Lin Shuran with an unkind expression, as if she was blaming her, and then said to Guo: "Mother, let's go in!" ”

Gu Xiruo almost forcibly pulled Guo into the hospitality hall, and Guo didn't have a chance to say a word to Lin Shuran again, Lei Yingying was a little angry about Gu Xiruo's performance, and the girl used to laugh when she saw Lin Shuran.
