Chapter 38

Xiao Mingzhu and Xu Pianran followed the girl from the Lu Mansion out of Mangui Garden, and Juaner, who got the news, sent the clothes to Zhichun at the gate of the garden. The group of them followed the girl through the unique scenery of the Golden Osmanthus Forest before arriving at the temple. Guest courtyard for resting guests.

Xiao Mingzhu smiled at Xu Pianran, "I'm sorry, cousin." After saying that, she went straight into the room to change clothes.

When Xiao Mingzhu came out, she found that the girl who led the way in Lu's house had been sent away by Xu Pianran.However, she had known for a long time that Xu Pianran had her own agenda for following her, so it was not surprising.

She promised Xu Pianran's favor, firstly, to maintain that little face, and secondly, she just wanted to see what Xu Pianran had in mind.

"Cousin Xu, let's go back." Xiao Mingzhu said.

Xu Pianran stood still: "Cousin, did you blame me for what happened just now?"

Just now here, she had thought everything through.

So what about the grievances between the Xu family and the general's family because of the eldest aunt? That is already a matter of the previous generation, and the current Xu family is no longer the original Xu family.

At the beginning, great-grandfather was a first-rank official, and grandparents could only marry into the Houfu, but Qing Gao's grandfather is still only a third-rank Imperial Academy attendant, and his father is only a sixth-rank idler.The mother really spent a lot of time thinking about her marriage, but the mistresses of those high-ranking families didn't even look at her because of the matter of the eldest aunt back then, and even thought that letting the concubine marry her was already asking her to get ahead.How could she, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, be reduced to the point of marrying a lowly family or a concubine's wife?Her marriage has been delayed year after year like this, she is fourteen now, and still has a few years of youth to bear.

She tried her best to break into the circle of noble girls, and attracted the attention of the mistresses of various families with her talent and appearance.
The princes' attention, so as to find a good marriage for themselves.Otherwise, she wouldn't be talking down to Qu Yuchun for a post about the Lu family.

But it's really annoying to compare people to others. Xiao Mingzhu is in a much better situation than her when she is a sick child.Mrs. Lu likes her, and people like Lu Ningxi and Ding Wei who have their eyes above their eyes also make friends with her.

She is not as good as Xiao Mingzhu.

But after the jealousy, her sanity returned.

If her grandfather reconciles with her great-aunt and the two houses reconnect, she will gain more benefits from being friendly with Xiao Mingzhu than she is from currying favor with Qu Yuchun.As for the grievances and grievances between the eldest aunt and the general's mansion, as a niece, she can't think too much.

Right now, her first priority is to get Xiao Mingzhu's understanding first.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't want to waste time with Xu Pianran, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "Cousin, what happened just now?"

Xu Pianran was also ruthless, and said bluntly: "Just now I knew it was Qu's cousin who did something wrong, but I couldn't stop it. Even later, when I wanted to use tea instead of Qu's cousin to apologize to my cousin, I didn't know that my cousin didn't understand the tea ceremony. Make the cousin come across as vulgar."

I know, but I can't stop it!
I don’t know, it’s almost there!

Hey... This word is really worthy of a talented woman, and it is really used very well.

Xiao Mingzhu sighed that she was inferior, but she didn't intend to entangle Xu Pianran too much: "It's okay, I won't care about it." She didn't suffer, she deserved a slap in the face, of course she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

"Cousin doesn't blame me?" Xu Pianran was pleasantly surprised, looking at Xiao Mingzhu happily.

Xiao Mingzhu nodded, "Let's go back."

Xu Pianran immediately reached out to hold Xiao Mingzhu's arm, but Xiao Mingzhu hurriedly took a step back, avoiding her outstretched hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Cousin, I'm not used to it."

Xu Pianran didn't force it, and led Xiao Mingzhu on the way back and forth.

Xu Pianran followed Qu Yuchun to Lu's Mansion several times, but she was not familiar with Lu's Mansion. She originally thought that she could walk back with her memory, but she didn't expect to be able to tell the difference between south, east and north after entering the back garden.

"This road doesn't seem quite like it." Xiao Mingzhu also noticed that the two-foot-tall Taihu Stone in front of her had never been seen before.She glanced at Xu Pianran suspiciously, guessing in her heart whether Xu Pianran couldn't recognize the way, or had some ulterior motive to lead her there.

"Let's go back to the guest room. Seeing that we haven't returned for a long time, Miss Lu San will definitely send someone to look for us." Xiao Mingzhu has already become suspicious, how can she let Zhichun leave her, let alone let Xu Pianran's girl go away? Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain clearly what happened later.

Xu Pianran hesitated for a moment, Xiao Mingzhu had already led Zhichun on the way, she was about to follow, her girl Hongying lightly tugged her sleeve: "Girl, there seems to be someone in the forest."

Xu Pianran followed Hongying's pointing point and vaguely saw figures flickering in the woods, she was delighted: "There are people in front, maybe other girls came to enjoy the flowers, let's go there quickly!"

Xiao Mingzhu complied and followed Xu Pianran, but kept an eye out for half a step behind her.

After walking a few words, they heard voices coming from the other side.

It's a man's voice.

Xiao Mingzhu and Xu Pianran were startled at the same time.

man!There may be servants like servants and servants in the backyard, but the only men who can appear in the backyard are probably the master and distinguished guests of the Lu family.

Xu Pianran's mind suddenly became active, and she decided that this was a golden opportunity given to her by God!
Encounter by chance, this is the best opportunity for unmarried men and women to meet each other, the heartbeat at that glance is enough to make people remember for a lifetime.

But this kind of opportunity was never something that Xu Pianran dared to touch.

Although she knew that Mr. Lu still had two legitimate sons who were not engaged, and most of the people who interacted with Mr. Lu were descendants of families with good reputations and talents.But it doesn't rule out that the man opposite is married, engaged, or lustful...

Even if she is lucky and actually meets the unbetrothed sons of the Lu family or sons of the aristocratic family, and falls into the eyes of those sons, it may not end well.

Ever since Xu Wen made a fuss, Xu's daughter's reputation couldn't have been worse. Even if it was just a chance encounter, in the eyes of the mistresses, it would become a scheming scheme by Xu's daughter. A dirty mind" was enough to ruin her.

But today is different, Xiao Mingzhu is by her side.

Others don't believe her, but they will believe in Xiao Mingzhu. Even if something goes wrong, she pushes Xiao Mingzhu forward, even if Mrs. Lu doesn't like her, because Xiao Mingzhu is also involved in it, she will come forward to make things right. .

Almost instantly, Xu Pianran made up her mind, she slowed down decisively, tilted her body, said softly "Oops", and threw herself towards Xiao Mingzhu.

Xiao Mingzhu perked up when she heard a man's voice in front of her. When she heard Xu Pianran's shout, she subconsciously moved to the side. At the same time, when she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the corner of Xu Pianran's mouth before she could hide it. That sly smile.

Xiao Mingzhu moved faster than her brain, and kicked a small stone to Xu Pianran's feet without showing a trace.Xu Pianran, who was unsuccessful in the collision, was slipped by the small stone, unable to stand upright, and fell directly to the ground, screaming in pain.
