Hua Jin quickly looked out along the curtain she lifted, and when she saw Xie Xun, who was jade and golden, her cheeks were slightly red, and she couldn't help but shout: "Third cousin." ”

Xie Xun heard the voice, looked over along the sound, and saw the two of them, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and walked towards them.

"The third cousin is here!" Hua Rong pulled Hua Jin and ran out of the carriage, and after walking quickly to meet him, she pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Third cousin, you came to Jincheng County, why don't you go back to Washington to see the big ...... We. ”

"Something?" Xie Xun's expression was indifferent.

Princess Guangling has always wanted to marry Hua Jin Xu to him.

He never agreed.

First, Hua Jin is his cousin, and as a person who has received modern knowledge, it is impossible for him to mess with this ethics.

Second, to him, she is no different from the young ladies in those families in the capital.

As for Hua Jin's ...... to him

He doesn't care.

"Can't I come to you if I'm fine?" Hua Rong became more and more dissatisfied.

Xie Xun crossed the two, "I'll go back if it's okay, I'm busy, I don't have time to pay attention to you." ”

"Third cousin," Hua Jin held Hua Rong's hand tightly, and after stopping her from hurting people, he said with a soft smile, "It's the third cousin that grandmother asked us to come over, and grandmother said that she misses her third cousin." When the third cousin is free, go back to Washington to have a look. ”

Xie Xun didn't stop, "Then tell my grandmother, I'll talk about it when I'm free." ”

"Is the third cousin going to the ranch?" Hua Jin unwillingly followed his footsteps, "In recent years, I have been taking care of the accounts in Washington, and if the third cousin wants to check the accounts, I may be able to help one or two." ”

Xie Xun stopped and looked back at her.

Along the way, although he and Chen Anning rushed through the process, they were not sloppy with the account books of the ranch.

Ranch account books in Geumseong-gun...... Because of the need to buy time for Xu Zan and Wen Baolin, most of the account books have not had time to look through them.

Right now, Chen Anning has to cooperate with the ladies of the Taishou Mansion to delay time.

Surely, all the books were going to fall on him.

He didn't mind taking his time.

It's just that someone is willing to help, so why not?

Hua Jin saw his looseness, and hurriedly said: "Help the third cousin check the accounts earlier, and the third cousin should go to Washington to visit his grandmother earlier." ”

"Makes sense." Xie Xun nodded, "Then let's go." ”

Lu Deqiu, who was going to go to the ranch with him, took a look at Xie Xun, and then took a look at Hua Jin, who had a powdery face and a spring face, and stopped in an instant.

Sending them away with a smile, Lu Deqiu immediately beckoned to the entourage behind him and ordered in a low voice: "Quickly tell the two young ladies of the Hua family to follow Master Xie to the ranch to Miss Chen." ”

The entourage was about to leave, but he called him back again, "By the way, tell Miss Chen Er that Miss Hua has a heart for Master Xie." ”

After the retinue went.

Lu Deqiu rubbed his hands and laughed lowly: "The drama of two women fighting for a husband is really enduring." I just don't know if the disciple of the divine doctor has won the cousin. ”

In the time of his many calculations.

In the middle of the restaurant.

After sitting down in the box near the window on the second floor, Lu Yueer went to the window, lifted the bamboo curtain to look at Hua Jin and Hua Rong's distant carriage, and whispered to Lu Yueyun, who was also lying over, "Do you want to send someone to follow them?" ”

Lu Yueyun was puzzled: "What are you doing with them?" ”

Lu Yueer glanced back at Chen Anning and continued to whisper: "The two of them came to invite Master Xie to Washington, but they didn't invite Second Miss Chen, no matter how you look at it, it's not right." ”

Lu Yueyun tilted her head and thought for a while, "You mean, they want to carry Miss Chen Er behind their backs and ask Master Xie to deal with us?" ”

"What an elm pimple!" After Lu Yue'er glanced at her, she sat down at the table, thought about it, and reminded Chen Anning, "Second Miss Chen had better be careful, Hua Jin and Hua Rong knew that the emperor had given you and Lord Xie a marriage, but they only invited Lord Xie to Washington, but did not invite you, the reason behind it is definitely not simple." ”

Chen Anning took the opportunity to ask, "What does this Hua family do?" ”

"The Hua family, they haven't done anything," Lu Jingyun replied disapprerovingly, "They are just guarding Jincheng Pass in Jincheng County." ”

Jincheng Pass?

This is a very important juncture in history.

The Hua family seems to be also very popular with the emperor.

Chen Anning casually asked a few more questions about the Hua family, and then left Hua Jin and Hua Rong behind.

is not interested in what purpose Hua Jin and Hua Rong have.

Lu Yueer wanted to remind her a few more words, but seeing her like this, she had to keep her mouth shut.

Eaten.

Adhering to Mrs. Lu's explanation, several Miss Lu took Chen Anning to visit various shops.

When I walked to a jewelry store, Lu Deqiu's entourage arrived.

The attendant called Lu Wenjun aside and relayed Lu Deqiu's words to her word for word.

After Lu Wenjun listened, he immediately relayed it to Chen Anning word for word.

"I know they're not at ease!" Lu Jingyun scolded, "They think that by following Master Xie to the ranch, they can snatch Lord Xie away?" They don't want to think about it, you and Master Xie were given a marriage by the emperor, how can they rob it if they want to? ”

Lu Yueyun said in hindsight: "It turns out that it was very wrong for you to say just now that they only invited Master Xie and not Miss Chen Er, and you wanted to say that they wanted to snatch Lord Xie away." In this way, Hua Jin has always been uncertain because she wants to marry ......"

Lu Yueer quickly covered her mouth and whispered: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

Lu Yueyun whined: "What did I say wrong? ”

Lu Yueer continued to cover her mouth, and after warning her not to talk nonsense, she said to Chen Anning: "Second Miss Chen, don't listen to her nonsense, no matter whether the person Hua Jin wants to marry is Lord Xie or not, she is delusional!" ”

Hua Jin wants to marry Xie Xun?

Isn't she Xie Xun's cousin?

Oh, forgot, this is a cousin cousin, born a pair of ancient.

Tut.

Chen Anning suppressed the urge to see the excitement immediately, pointed to the tray of ornaments taken out by the shopkeeper with a cold face, and said lightly: "Wrap it up, I want it all." ”

"It's all your fault!" After Lu Yueer glared at Lu Yueyun, she not only rushed to pay the silver, but also bought two more pallets.

Looking at the stacks of jewelry boxes in front of him, Chen Anning couldn't help but glance at Lu Yueer, and then at the rest of Miss Lu. Looking at their cautious appearance, he silently hooked his lips and said: What a wonderful misunderstanding!

"Let's go, there are a few jewelry shops next to it, let's go shopping too." After asking the maid to carry all the jewelry boxes to the carriage, Lu Yueer took her hand and dragged her to the next shop.

In this way, in their inexplicable misunderstanding, Chen Anning kept buying and buying, until several carriages could not fit before stopping.

"Do you want to call two more carriages?" Lu Jingyun asked unsatisfactorily.

"Tomorrow." Lu Wenjun said, "It's too late today, even if you go shopping again, you won't be able to go shopping for long, so let's find a restaurant to eat first, and go back as soon as you finish eating." ”

Lu Jingyun looked at Chen Anning and wanted to listen to her opinion.

Lu Wenjun also looked at Chen Anning.

Chen Anning looked at the carts full of boxes, and said in moderation: "Tomorrow, I'm a little tired." ”

"Okay, then tomorrow!" Lu Jingyun said immediately.

It's still a restaurant at noon.

During the meal, Chen Anning, who had not tested them since he came out in the morning, pretended to be cautious and asked, "Did you spend a lot of money today?" ”

"It's not much," Lu Jingyun said bluntly, "I spent less than a thousand taels." ”

"I spent the most," Lu Yueyun said, "but it's less than three thousand taels." ”

Lu Jingyun snapped her fingers and calculated, "The total adds up to just over six thousand taels, which is not much." ”

"It's only more than six thousand taels?" Chen Anning pretended to be speechless.

"Is more than six thousand taels a lot?" After Lu Jingyun glanced at Lu Yueyun twice, she said, "When Li Linghui's family held a banquet two months ago, we spent more than 30,000 taels on clothes and jewelry. ”

Chen Anning pretended to be envious and said: "I have never spent so much silver, and when I used to follow my grandfather and grandmother, I was self-sufficient in food and clothing. Later, when I came to the capital, the most silver I saw was one hundred taels after the eldest princess was cured of her head disease. I still keep the one hundred taels, and it's been useless. ”

"What can you do with a hundred taels?" Lu Yueyun was incredible, "Ever since I can remember, I have never had less than five hundred taels of silver on my body." ”

Chen Anning clenched his chopsticks, "You spend money like this, and your father and mother don't care about you?" Wouldn't they be upset either? ”

Lu Yueyun asked curiously, "Why are they unhappy?" ”

Chen Anning was silent, his face slightly embarrassed.

Lu Yueer hurriedly said: "It's okay, during Miss Chen's stay in Jincheng County, we can come to shop every day, Miss Chen Er can buy whatever she wants, and we will give money." ”

Lu Jingyun nodded again and again.

Chen Anning glanced at Lu Wenjun, who had not spoken, for fear of arousing her suspicion, so he did not continue to say tentatively: "You guys are so good to me. ”

After eating, I returned to Taishou Mansion.

Xie Xun has not returned from the ranch.
