However, although he guessed that he would be deceived, Chen Anning did not remind him.

Because people who have not been deceived will always have the confidence that they will not be deceived blindly.

At this time, it is useless to remind or persuade the other party, but it will arouse the rebellion of the other party.

You have to wait until you have been deceived before you can regret your mistakes.

Xie Xun was also very aware of this, so he did not persuade him.

Next.

Xu Zan and Wen Baolin left in a hurry.

Chen Anning continued to follow Xie Xun from ranch to pasture.

On the third day of wandering in the pasture, Lu Deqiu finally arrived.

"Lord Xie and Miss Chen Er came to Jincheng County, why didn't they send someone to inform them in advance?" Lu Deqiu chased after the two with a flattering face, "Look at my busyness, I just heard the news that the two of them came to Jincheng County today." ”

Chen Anning glanced at him with his spare eyes.

Lu Deqiu is around fifty, short and fat.

Dressed in silk clothes, the oil foam on his face is shining.

The small eyes were cloudy and yellow, and from time to time they shimmered with a hint of essence.

It has been five days since they came to Jincheng County, and they have not changed their appearance since they came.

With his collusion with Zhao Yongsheng, Xu Tianyi and others, how could he not know the news that they were coming?

It was nothing more than some reason that hindered him from coming to them immediately.

"I've already asked people to prepare the banquet," Seeing that Xie Xun had a cold face and didn't speak, Lu Deqiu sneered and moved his gaze from him to Chen Anning's body. Seeing Chen Anning for the first time, his eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly retracted and said, "Second Miss Chen came all the way, are you tired?" In addition to the banquet, I also asked people to prepare a place to rest, so that Miss Chen Er could eat at ease and live comfortably. Miss Chen Er, do you think it will pass now, or will it go back later? ”

"It's also my dereliction of duty, Miss Chen Er followed Master Xie to Jincheng County for a few days, I only got the news, it really made Miss Chen Er suffer, Miss Chen Er, don't be polite, if you want to eat or play, just open your mouth, just give me a chance to make amends."

Listening to his oily and smooth remarks, Chen Anning chuckled and looked at Xie Xun, "It's really hard to be gracious, since Lord Lu is so warmly invited, then we ......."

As soon as Lu Deqiu saw that there was a play, he immediately grabbed the words and said, "Lord Xie, Miss Chen Er, please." ”

Although Xie Xun didn't stop, he cooperated tacitly: "Do you want to go?" ”

Chen Anning nodded: "I want to go." ”

Xie Xun stopped and looked back at her.

Chen Anning pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "After coming out of the capital, I am almost tired from walking around the ranch with you all day long. Look at my face, my hands, and my clothes, where do you still look like a young lady? ”

Xie Xun followed her words and looked at her seriously, then glanced at Lu Deqiu again, "Since you are tired, let's rest for two days first." ”

After Lu Deqiu glanced at Chen Anning gratefully, he bowed slightly and said, "Lord Xie, Miss Chen, please." ”

The place where Lu Deqiu set up the banquet was in the Taishou Mansion.

Judging from the smell of mud wafting in the air and the traces of the mud in the garden, it is clear that the Taishou Mansion has been moving heavily in recent days.

Judging from the layout of the venue where the banquet is located, it has obviously undergone some rectification.

The purpose of rectification, you don't have to guess to know that it has changed from luxury to simplicity.

At the banquet.

Xie Xun continued to maintain a character of cold words and few words, and let Lu Deqiu do his best, but he was indifferent.

Chen Anning, on the contrary, was very happy in the compliments and companionship of Mrs. Lu, several concubines and several young ladies, and perfectly interpreted the appearance of a daughter of a small family who could not get on a big stage.

After the banquet.

In Lu Deqiu's kind invitation and the strong praise of Mrs. Lu, the concubines and Miss Lu, Chen Anning happily chose to stay.

Xie Xun saw that she stayed, so naturally she also stayed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Deqiu quietly glanced at Mrs. Lu.

After Mrs. Lu nodded slightly to indicate that she knew, she said to a few Miss Lu: "Second Miss Chen has worked hard all the way, and let her rest, if you have anything to say, you can leave it until tomorrow." ”

"Let's send Miss Chen Er to rest." Several Miss Lu were very kind and immediately grabbed Chen Anning's hand and took her away half-dragging and half-pulling.

Mrs. Lu shook her head helplessly, and instructed the mother-in-law on the side, "These children...... Go and watch, don't let them make a fuss too late. ”

After the mother-in-law answered.

Mrs. Lu turned around and waved her hand slightly at Xie Xun, who was looking at Chen Anning, and said, "Although the little girls are making a little fuss, they are not people who don't know the seriousness, please rest assured that Lord Xie." ”

Xie Xun hummed lukewarmly.

After Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Deqiu, she waved her hand again and retired.

"Recently, I came from Jiangnan to help the opera troupe, and the lower officials can't understand what they sing, but the babbling is moving," After Mrs. Lu walked away, Lu Deqiu said with a sneer, "It's not early, I don't know ...... Lord Xie."

Xie Xun coldly interrupted Lu He's words, "I'm tired!" ”

"It's the lower officials who don't take good care of it," Lu Deqiu enthusiastically stretched out his hand to ask, "Lord Xie, please come here." ”

Xie Xun followed him coldly to the courtyard where he stayed.

Knowing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Lu Deqiu didn't put a hot face on his cold ass anymore, and after beckoning more than a dozen subordinates to serve him well, he obediently retreated.

After exiting the courtyard where he lived, Lu Deqiu stopped, couldn't help but glance back, and after sneering twice, he walked towards Mrs. Lu's courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"How?" Entering Mrs. Lu's courtyard, Lu Deqiu sat down and asked.

Mrs. Lu smiled: "I don't think that Miss Chen Er is very good in terms of appearance or knowledge, and I don't know how Lord Xie likes her?" ”

Lu Deqiu's heart moved faintly, "What does Madam mean?" ”

"Let's wait for two days." Mrs. Lu put down the teacup and said shrewdly, "If there is anything outstanding, you will know if you look at it for two days." ”

Lu Deqiu said deliberately: "After observing for two days, what if there is anything outstanding?" ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at him, "Just put away your little thoughts." Even if there is nothing outstanding, what kind of place is the capital? What kind of identity is Lord Xie? What kind of young lady he hasn't seen? ”

Lu Deqiu said disapprerovingly: "What if you have seen it, it is not planted in the hands of Miss Chen Er?" ”

"It is precisely because it is planted in the hands of Miss Chen Er that you have to be careful." Mrs. Lu reminded, "There are so many outstanding young ladies in the capital, and it makes no sense for Lord Xie to look down on any of them, but he just takes a fancy to her who can't be on the stage." ”

Lu Deqiu twisted his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean, she is pretending?" ”

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "It's not pretending, think about it, which daughter of a good family is not ashamed after being tarnished like that, and the lion opens her mouth to ask each other for clothes and jewelry?" ”

Lu Deqiu said with a smile: "Country girl, I haven't seen anything good, so if you have the opportunity, you naturally want the lion to open her mouth." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded approvingly, "Tomorrow, I will let those girls coax her out, whatever she wants to buy, whatever she wants to eat, she will do her best to satisfy her. ”

"Madame bothered." Lu Deqiu took her hand.
