My lord, your plan is too obvious

On the morning of the third day of March, Ruohua called a carriage and went to the peach blossom forest outside the city with Xiang Zhenzhen.

The few snowfalls last winter made this peach forest extraordinarily prosperous this year.

Originally, Lin Lang wanted to come with Ruohua and the others, but Lin Lang's mother was feeling unwell the day before, and Lin's father happened to be away, so Lin Lang asked someone to send a letter to Ruohua, saying that he would stay in the Taking care of her mother at home, she apologized to Ruohua and Xiang Zhenzhen.

On the way to Taolin, Xiang Zhenzhen was still feeling emotional that he hadn't seen Brother Lin for a long time.

Ruohua said with a smile: "When I go back from Taolin tomorrow, can I visit Lin's mansion?"

"I don't know what brother Lin has become in these years."

"Brother Lang's temper... is very upright." Ruohua couldn't think of a better description for a while.

Xiang Zhenzhen covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Lin has been so straightforward since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he is still like that now."

"It's a little too straightforward..." Ruohua said helplessly when he thought of Lin Lang who didn't hide much in the court.Although such a person is very easy to get along with, but there are many twists and turns in the court, and one is easy to be framed if one is not careful.

"However, with Brother Lin's personality, if any woman marries him in the future, it will be a blessing for that woman."

Ruohua heard what Xiang Zhenzhen said, and couldn't help but teased: "Could it be that my sister has always admired your Brother Lin since she was a child?"

Xiang Zhenzhen pretended to be annoyed and said: "Brother, how could I see that I was attracted to him? When I was a child, I was angry that he didn't have time. When he came to Xiangfu, brother, you followed him all day and left me alone."

"Okay, okay, it was my fault when I was young," Ruohua laughed, "Look, didn't I leave him behind and come out with you this time?"

"It's almost there."

"Speaking of which, if Zhenzhen gets married in the future, what kind of person do you want to marry?" I think that Zhenzhen will soon have his 17th birthday, and after that, people should come to matchmaking one after another.There are a few officials in the court who can be regarded as young talents, and their family backgrounds are not bad. If Zhenzhen is willing to marry in the capital, he can have someone to take care of him.

Zhenzhen knew Ruohua's thoughts, and at home, Mrs. He also intentionally or unintentionally asked her if she had a man she liked.She herself had thought about these things, but as far as she was concerned, she knew that as a young lady of the Xiang family, she didn't have much choice.Although her parents would definitely not persecute her, even for the kindness of nurturing her over the years, she would naturally choose the most suitable family for the Xiang family.

And if the elder brother has ambitions in the court and wants to take a higher step, it may be better to marry himself in the capital, at least he can help the elder brother.But with his elder brother's temperament, he would definitely not agree with his own thinking.

So Xiang Zhenzhen said simply: "If I say so, brother, don't laugh at me."

"Of course not."

"I want to marry someone who has achieved something. Some money in the family is even better. If it is not as good as the Xiangfu, I would rather stay with my parents for the rest of my life."

Ruohua was a little surprised, he thought that according to Xiang Zhenzhen's temperament, he must find someone with talent and learning, even if he is a poor official, it would be good if he is willing to give his heart.But she never expected that Xiang Zhenzhen would say that.

"I thought……"

"Brother thinks that I will treat each other sincerely without asking about my family?"

Ruohua was at a loss for words for a moment, but he really thought so.

Xiang Zhenzhen smiled lightly: "Who is sure about such things as being sincere. Even if it is so beautiful to know each other, but if there is a life force, when a disaster is imminent and they fly separately, I am afraid they will regret it. .”

"So I'd rather just get married and be more stable, so that my parents can feel at ease, right?"

Ruohua didn't expect Xiang Zhenzhen to think so far. He thought that at Xiang Zhenzhen's age, he should have thought of a good husband, and he naturally hoped that Xiang Zhenzhen could marry someone who truly loves each other.

Seeing Ruohua's hesitant expression, Xiang Zhenzhen teased and said, "My brother is an official in the court. If he looks good and has a good family background, remember to make it for my sister."

Ruohua felt relieved when she saw Xiang Zhenzhen like this.After all, what Xiang Zhenzhen said is not unreasonable. If the family background is better, at least the rest of his life will be stable.Since she thought so, she should pay more attention to suitable people.But in the end, Xiang Zhenzhen still has to like it.

While the two were talking, they were already outside the peach forest.

Ruohua asked the coachman to park the carriage outside the booked inn, and put the salute of the two inside the house.Lin Lang reserved a suite in advance, Ruohua's outer room, and the inner room with a view of the peach blossom forest was reserved for Zhenzhen.

Xiang Zhenzhen entered the room and opened the window, seeing the peach blossoms mixed with light pink and white outside, she couldn't help but leaned out, as if she could jump into the sea of ​​flowers in the next second.

Ruohua packed up her things and planned to ask Zhenzhen to go out.As soon as she turned around, she saw that half of Zhenzhen's body was leaning out of the window. Although this is the second floor, if she fell, she would definitely be injured.So he hurried forward two steps to pull Xiang Zhenzhen back.

However, before Ruohua stretched out his hand, a voice suddenly came from downstairs:

"If girl wants to feel the feeling of falling into the sea of ​​flowers, why not just jump off like this, I will definitely catch you."

Ruohua felt that the voice was a little familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it, he just felt a little angry.Where did Deng Tuzi come from, he dared to moles his sister.

So Ruohua strode forward, pulled Xiang Zhenzhen behind her, and was about to scold the apprentice downstairs.Then he opened the window and found that it was the Beitang Yunze whom he had seen before.

Ruohua frowned, and temporarily held back what he was about to curse just now, but his tone was still a bit bad and he said to the people downstairs:

"Master Beitang didn't go to Rouge Pavilion today, but came here to tease the girl?"

Beitang Yunze was a little surprised when he saw Ruohua. Just now he just thought that the girl looking out of the window was interesting, so he deliberately teased him, but he didn't expect to meet Xiang Ruohua.Looking at it this way, the two seem to be five points alike, and with Xiang Ruohua's obviously unhappy tone, could it be that they are brothers and sisters?

Beitang Yunze's smile became more obvious, I hadn't noticed it before, and this Xiang family member was also very funny.

So he bowed slightly and saluted: "I didn't expect to meet Young Master Xiang, it's also fate. If Young Master Xiang and Miss Xiang don't dislike me, why don't we enjoy this peach grove together?"

Ruohua thought in his heart, how can this apprentice see that I don't despise him anymore.

Xiang Zhenzhen pulled La Ruohua's cuff and asked:

"Is it someone my brother knows?"

"Only once."

"Then let's go together, more people will be more lively." Xiang Zhenzhen saw that his brother seemed embarrassed to refuse directly, so he simply agreed to Beitang's invitation.And even though that person was a bit glib, he didn't seem to be a bad person.

Ruohua agreed with Xiang Zhenzhen, so he didn't say anything more.Anyway, with him around, that Beitang wouldn't do anything to Zhenzhen.

So the two of them went downstairs and saw that Beitang was already waiting in the lobby of the inn.

Ruohua said angrily, "Let's go."

When Beitang Yunze saw that Ruohua was obviously dissatisfied with him, and saw Ruohua's younger sister standing aside who was looking at him unabashedly, he could not help but smile more clearly. It seems that today will not be boring.But... more fun is yet to come.

"Master Xiang, wait a minute, there are two more people with us." Beitang Yunze walked up to Xiang Zhenzhen and extended his hand to invite, "Speaking of which, may I have the honor to know Miss Xiang's name?"

Before Xiang Zhenzhen could speak, Ruohua stood in front of Zhenzhen: "My sister's name is Zhenzhen. If it takes a long time for Mr. Beitang's friends to come, we will go to Taolin first."

Seeing her elder brother standing in front of her, Xiang Zhenzhen couldn't help turning her head slightly to cover up the uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief: When did my elder brother become so childish? The son obviously also intended to tease his brother.But it's also interesting, she rarely sees such a brother.

Beitang Yunze saw Xiang Zhenzhen's small movements with keen eyes, and knew in his heart that the young lady of the Xiang family had better insight into people's hearts than this brother.

But yes, if Xiang Ruohua knew more about human affairs, then Prince Yan probably wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

When Beitang Yunze was thinking about how to tease this little Shangshu, a voice came from behind:

"Master Beitang, we are late."

Ruohua looked behind Beitang, and unexpectedly saw Qi Guang and Jiming.Can't help but be stunned... Beitang Yunze is talking about the two of them?

"I just happened to meet Young Master Xiang and Miss Xiang, and I am inviting them to Taolin together."

"Too...Brother Zhao." Ruohua saw that Beitang Yunze and Qi Guang seemed very familiar, and thought that they seemed to have gone out alone for a long time on the day of appreciating the plum blossoms. The prince intends to take it for his own use?

"Ruohua," Qi Guang looked at Xiang Ruohua and Xiang Zhenzhen beside him, and said with a slight smile, "This is your sister?"

Xiang Zhenzhen felt that his elder brother seemed a little cautious, so he thought that the young man who spoke had a higher status in the court and should be higher than his elder brother.The elder brother is already a minister, and this person looks like he is only in his 20s, so he can only be a prince or aristocrat.

The elder brother seemed to have changed his name on purpose just now, to prove that it is best not to let outsiders know the identity of this person.If an ordinary prince should not be like this, then the only possibility is...

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhenzhen took a step forward, bowed his knees slightly and made a salute, and then said:

"Xiang Zhenzhen, my little girl, I'm afraid she might be rude today when I came to the capital to find my brother. I hope you gentlemen don't blame me."

Xiang Zhenzhen glanced over the faces of the three of them one by one, and lowered his eyelids intentionally when looking at Qi Guang, instead of looking directly at Qi Guang's face.Then he smiled and said:

"However, it would be a real honor for all the gentlemen to appreciate the peach forest together."

Beitang Yunze stood on one side, swinging his fan behind his back a few times, seeing Xiang Zhenzhen's attitude towards the light and the movement of slightly retracting his gaze, he thought to himself that she really is a smart woman.He should have guessed Chu Qiguang's identity, but he didn't point it out. Although he spoke politely, he would not appear overly formal.It is very decent to be generous.

He couldn't help but look at Xiang Zhenzhen a few more times, thinking of the way she was half leaning out of the window just now.It's hard to imagine a person who is so knowledgeable.

But Ruohua stood on the side but was a little upset, the prince's private meeting with Beitang Yunze must not be as simple as simply admiring the flowers.He didn't want Zhenzhen to be involved in this trickery.

But now that Xiang Zhenzhen has spoken, it's not easy for him to continue to refuse, but it seems too unnatural.

So I have to say:

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhao here. If Brother Zhao is interested, let's go together."

How can you not be interested if you are accompanied by a beautiful woman. "Beitang Yunze stood next to Xiang Zhenzhen at some point.

Ruohua felt angry when he saw Beitang's face as a disciple, but Qi Guang was by his side so he couldn't do it easily.He had no choice but to stare at Beitang, hoping that he would be more acquainted.

But Beitang was even more interested seeing Ruohua like this, and looked back at Ruohua with raised eyes.

Ruohua: "..." This is definitely a provocation!

Looking at the two of them, Xiang Zhenzhen staggered helplessly and walked to Qi Guang's side.After a salute:

"My brother already has few friends in the capital, so Mr. Lao will take care of him."

Qi Guang looked at Xiang Zhenzhen and felt that this woman was indeed as smart as the rumors said.So he smiled and said:

"It's also my good fortune to associate with such an intelligent person as your brother."

Beitang saw that Xiang Zhenzhen walked to Qi Guang's side, so he didn't continue to follow.Ruohua breathed a sigh of relief, at least Qi Guang is much better than this sloppy apprentice.
