The eighth day of the fifth month is the day when the county lord of Xiqing is fifteen years old and the day of the curt, it is said that on such a day, the host's family invites people who are close to each other, elders or virtuous female guests, Lin Shuran thought that perhaps because of the special identity of the county lord of Xiqing, the palace will be more grand.

It's just that she seemed to have upset Princess Qing last time, why did she personally post to herself? I don't know how her body is now, and whether the prescriptions I gave to Dr. Mei are useful for her condition?

"Miss, will you go to the banquet of the county lord of Xiqing?" Chunxi looked at the invitation from the Qing Palace, which was placed in front of Lin Shuran, and asked.

Lin Shuran picked up the post again and flipped through it, looked at the handwriting on it, and said, "Go, of course I want to go!" This is an invitation from the palace, so it's not appropriate for us not to go. ”

"But-" Chunxi's face looked a little tangled, "Will anyone deliberately mention the matter of the eldest young master and the county lord of Xiqing to embarrass you at that time?" ”

"Whether anyone will mention it or not, we have to go, and that matter has been investigated, Brother Chen'er and the county lord of Xiqing were calculated, they were all wronged, the county lord of Xiqing is not afraid of gossip and has boarded the gate of the Xu family, what else do we have to worry about, sometimes the more we avoid it, the more we care, the more it will be discussed by others, it is better to be generous and generous, others will not be able to say anything!" Lin Shuran can think about everything, if there are many people who go to the Qing Palace's mansion to participate in the banquet, then when they see themselves appearing, someone will definitely say that the last time Xu Mingchen and the county lord of Xiqing were in Penglai Restaurant, I don't know whether to say it openly or secretly.

Chunxi felt that what her young lady said was very right, there was nothing wrong with Xu Mingchen and Xiqing County Lord in this matter, someone wanted to harm them, and the two of them were the victims.

After that, Lin Shuran took Chunxi to the treasury to choose a gift for the lord of Xiqing, the gift of the woman and the concubine is a major event, and as an invited guest, he also wants to offer a celebratory gift.

It's just that Lin Shuran didn't see the right one for her, so she took Chunxi to the largest gold, silver and jade shop in the capital-Yaoguang Pavilion, and wanted to choose a gift for the lord of Xiqing County here.

But when the master and servant stepped into the store, they saw Gu Xiruo and Guo who also came to choose jewelry, today is the fourth day of the fifth month, and two days will be the day when Gu Xiruo marries into the Ling Wangfu as a side concubine.

Gu Xiruo and Guo didn't expect to meet Lin Shuran in Yaoguang Pavilion, Gu Xiruo was still the well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of Guo's family, and when she saw Lin Shuran, she also smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"Sister Lin, you also came to see the jewelry, this is really a coincidence!" Gu Xiruo supported Guo, but when he looked at Lin Shuran with pride and provocation in his eyes, Guo felt a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran calmly stepped forward to salute Guo's family, then looked at Gu Xiruo and said, "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect the Gu family's aunt and sister to be here." ”

"Sister Lin, are you here to choose jewelry for yourself? But I heard that the Xu family's land and property were not all returned to the imperial court, and the Xu family's shops were closed. ”

Gu Xiruo swept Lin Shuran up and down, today's Lin Shuran was wearing a azure plain gauze skirt, no pearl and jade accessories around her waist, small earrings like rice grains, and a simple white hosta on her head, not even a dazzling gold ornament, she wouldn't think that it was the time of the national funeral.

Guo Shi turned his head slightly and glared at Gu Xiruo, his daughter has become a little different from her, she is becoming more and more unruly in her words and actions, and she is not good to talk about her in front of outsiders, so she has to show her eyes to speak sensibly.

But Gu Xiruo pretended not to see Guo's warning eyes, and seeing that Lin Shuran didn't talk immediately, she knew that she didn't have a good impression of herself now, so she continued: "Sister Lin, I'm going to get married in two days, will you come to add makeup to me then?" ”

"Xi Ruo!" Guo didn't expect her daughter to ask others for makeup gifts in person, which made her feel very embarrassed and immediately reprimanded.

Gu Xiruo's face sank, as if she was not afraid that Guo would be angry at all, and pouted and said: "Mother, the sister of the Lin family is not an outsider, if my brother is still here, she is my sister-in-law, what's wrong with her adding makeup when I get married!" ”

The more Guo Shi listened, the more angry she became, and just when she was about to open her mouth to reprimand Gu Xiruo again, Lin Shuran said with a smile: "Auntie, what the Gu family's sister said is right, you don't have to be angry, it's just that on the day the Gu family's sister got married, I'm afraid that I can't go if there is really something, and the Queen Mother has already passed the word and asked me to enter the palace to accompany her that day." But adding makeup is just right today, the sister of the Gu family will choose a piece of jewelry in this Yaoguang Pavilion, can I give it to you? ”

"Sister Ran, this is not appropriate!" Guo immediately refused.

Originally, if Gu Xi married into the Ling Wangfu, Guo and Gu Chang were displeased, they only hoped that their daughter would marry into an ordinary family and live a dull life, the husband she chose last time, although he was a few years older than her, was decent and kind, and his in-laws were also people with excellent character, but she had to say that the other party was an old man, so she refused to marry.

"Mother, why is it not appropriate!" Gu Xiruo hurriedly pulled Guo Shi, and suddenly became angry in her heart, if it weren't for Lin Shuran, her brother would not have died, if her brother was still there, the Gu family would be more beautiful than now, and she would not be so shabby when she got married, but it was just a piece of jewelry that she deserved, why was it not suitable, "Sister Lin, you can't talk and not talk, then I will choose it unceremoniously!" ”

After speaking, he didn't give Guo and Lin Shuran a chance to talk again, so he asked the shopkeeper to show her the good-looking jewelry in the store.

Just now, Gu Xiruo and Guo Shi have been in the store for a long time, they can't afford to buy what they like, and they can't afford to buy it, but the shopkeeper didn't say anything in his heart, and still let them choose with a smile, now she is still the daughter of the country's sacrificial wine, and when she turns around, she is the concubine of King Ling, so it's better not to offend such a guest.

"Shopkeeper, take out the head of the set of jewelry I fancy just now!" Gu Xiruo looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, her tone was unnatural and arrogant, and at the same time, she glanced back at Lin Shuran and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Soon, the shopkeeper took out a set of gorgeous heads with jade and gold, and then said to Gu Xiruo with a smile: "Miss Gu, you still have a good eye, this is the only one in our capital." ”

Gu Xiruo's eyes lit up again, she liked this set of jewelry very much just now, but the shopkeeper's asking price of 1,000 taels, how could she afford it, but Lin Shuran walked in, then don't blame her for opening her mouth.
