Chapter 37
After all, Xu Pianran is the daughter-in-law carefully cultivated by the Xu family. She reacted quickly enough to wash away the signboard of the Xu family's bad family style. Seeing a few girls entering the flower hall, she immediately lowered her eyes and acted a little bit wronged. Son: "Cousin Xiao, don't you recognize me?"

Looking at the girls who had just arrived, they looked at him suspiciously.

Xiao Mingzhu was sure, the girl in front of her who was decent in every way was the daughter of the Xu family who was cultivated by the Xu family, her cousin Xu Pianran.

Her father only talked to her briefly about what happened back then. She knew that Xu Wen's mother's dystocia had an inseparable relationship with Xu Wen, so her father turned against the Xu family. The general's mansion lost contact.

She couldn't tell right from wrong back then, but it was impossible to say that she didn't hate Xu Wen.

But taking care of her grandmother, she couldn't retaliate, but no matter what, it was her insistence to stay away from the Xu family.

According to Aunt Qiao, this cousin of the Xu family is a talented woman, very talented in chess, piano and calligraphy, and the Xu family is counting on her to wash away the stains that Xu Wen brought to the Xu family back then.

So what if this cousin of the Xu family is responsible for the Xu family? She should be slapped in the face like this with her face?

No, that's not her temper.

What's more, she doesn't regard the Xu family cousin in front of her as a relative.

She doesn't want to return, but she will still pretend to be superficial.

Xiao Mingzhu smiled and got up, bowed to Xu Pianran, and explained: "Mingzhu accompanied her grandmother to Falin Temple to fulfill her vows when she returned to Beijing, and she hadn't seen Xu's cousin before she had time to visit her uncle's grandfather's house. If you recognize Mingzhu, you should remind Mingzhu."

In a word, he explained the matter so clearly that Xu Pianran was speechless.

Ding Wei and the girls looked at Xu Pianran with disdain.

Even if Xu Pianran and Xiao Mingzhu had any grievances in private, but in front of them as outsiders, no matter how much estrangement there was between relatives, they should pretend to get along harmoniously and do their best on the surface.Xu Pianran's actions now only make people feel that she is too narrow-minded to be on the stage.

The proud daughter of the Xu family is nothing more than that.

Qu Yuchun also came to his senses: "Tsk, no wonder you drink tea like a cow. It's a pity for the third cousin's nectar."

"This is Mengding nectar?" After Xiao Mingzhu said it, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she immediately shut up, just looked at Qu Yuchun and smiled, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

Qu Yuchun saw that the corner of Xiao Mingzhu's mouth was sneering, as if she was laughing that she didn't understand tea, the resentment in her heart was aroused, and she didn't even care about Ding Wei's side, so she said: "Of course it's Meng Ding. Ganlu, but someone like you who grew up in a rural place like Xin'an must not be able to taste it!"

"Cousin Qu!" Lu Ningxi, who happened to come over with the little princess, just heard this sentence, and hurriedly stopped.

Qu Yuchun was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and seeing Lu Ningxi with an angry face, she instantly understood that Xiao Mingzhu must have seen Lu Ningxi coming over just now, so she deliberately induced her to say those words.Annoyed and annoyed, she casually grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Xiao Mingzhu.

Xiao Mingzhu dodged and the tea was not splashed on her face, but her clothes were still splashed wet.

"Miss Xiao."

"Pearl."

"Cousin Xiao."

Lu Ningxi, Ding Wei, and Xu Pianran spoke at the same time.

Xiao Mingzhu flicked the water stains lightly, and said: "It's nothing, this tea is not hot."

Lu Ningxi said to Qu Yuchun with a straight face: "Cousin, my little aunt is looking for you." Before Qu Yuchun could respond, she said to the girl next to her, "Lead your cousin to the main courtyard."

She didn't want to ruin her birthday party in Qu Yuchun's hands like this.

"Third cousin, she obviously did it on purpose..." Under Lu Ningxi's angry gaze, Qu Yuchun didn't dare to say the rest, so he could only stomp his feet and leave angrily.

Lu Ningxi looked at Xiao Mingzhu's wet dress, and said apologetically, "I'll ask someone to get a set of clothes for my sister to change."

Xiao Mingzhu waved her hand: "It's okay, I brought a replacement one, and you can have someone take me to the wing room to change it."

Xu Pianran, who was almost forgotten by everyone, said, "I'll go with my cousin."

Lu Ningxi glanced at Xu Pianran, she was smart and immediately thought of her relationship with Xiao Mingzhu, and was hesitating, but Xiao Mingzhu immediately agreed: "Okay, then I will trouble my cousin."

It's just acting, Xu Pianran can do it, so can she.

Right now, Xu Pianran has lost the opportunity, so she won't give Xu Pianran the chance to stand on her feet.

Lu Ningxi was worried, so she hired a girl to guide them.

Seeing Xu Pianran lead Xiao Mingzhu away, Ding Wei smiled and said: "Miss Xu and Mingzhu's cousins ​​are meeting for the first time, I'm afraid I have a lot to say in private, don't worry about it." Apologizing and revealing the relatives were two small things, she could see that Xu Pianran had bad intentions for Xiao Mingzhu.

But did Xiao Mingzhu really not know how to taste tea, really didn't recognize Xu Pianran, or did she wait for Xu Pianran to make a move before seeing the trick?It's just that she didn't see it through.Presumably, after their cousins ​​had a private chat, she would be able to guess the answer from their faces.

If that Xiao Mingzhu was a girl who could be deceived by Xu Pianran's few words, then she was not worthy of her deep friendship.If Xiao Mingzhu is a heavy-hearted person, then she has to be careful to avoid it.

The girls who can be invited by Lu Ningxi are naturally not of low status, they are all the eldest daughters or first daughters in other noble houses, who have not been carefully raised, how can they not understand the meaning of Ding Wei's words.They didn't know Xiao Mingzhu before, and they didn't have a close relationship with Xu Pianran. After greeting Lu Ningxi, they sat down and chatted with two or three friends they knew well.

Seeing the people around disperse, the little princess Han Wanting raised her eyebrows and looked at Ding Wei: "Mingzhu? You are so affectionate, it can be seen that Miss Xiao has caught your eye. Just now Ning Xi also said that Miss Xiao is a It's interesting, I'll have to see with my own eyes later, what kind of girl is it that both of you like."

All three of them laughed together.

Mother Ru rushed over, looking for Lu Ningxi, and said in a low voice: "Third Miss, the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince are here, and they are now in Jinguilin. The old lady told the girl to pay attention to all the guests and not to come out of the garden to collide with them." lost two princes."

Originally, the eldest lady designated Mangui Garden and Jinguilin as the activity areas for the girls today. She never thought that the second and fifth princes would come to the mansion suddenly to congratulate the third girl. Guilin.

Lu Ningxi's face changed: "Not good, the Qu family's cousin went back to the main courtyard, and the second girl Xu accompanied Miss Xiao to the guest room to change clothes." Going back to the main courtyard needs to pass through the back garden, and the guest room is located in the guest courtyard behind Jinguilin. All three of them might run into the two princes' party.

Mother Qiu also panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly led people to find someone separately.
