Get on the wrong sedan chair and marry the right wolf

Ling Qiufan was obviously taken aback when he received the invitation from Madam Wei of Jiangdu.

"Who is this lady? When have I known her?"

Ling Qiufan, who grew up in the prefect's mansion since she was a child, has some resistance to this kind of invitation. She doesn't like to seek relationships with others, and she doesn't like being treated as a big tree to seek relationships, so her first reaction when receiving the invitation letter is to refuse. .

Lu Shen stood in front of his wife respectfully, and replied: "Ma'am, this Mrs. Wei is a master at blending fragrances. Jiangdu is close to Jinling City, but it is better than Jinling City in the way of incense. An outstanding incense master. Jiangdu holds an incense feast every year, and many female relatives of high-ranking officials and noble families in Jinling City will be invited to go."

Ling Qiufan nodded, relying on his skills to make friends with high officials and dignitaries, he is considered not humble.But she is not good at this, and she doesn't like this kind of gatherings with many people. In addition, the lady Lu Chen said just now holds a banquet every year, and every time the incense tasting banquet will gather many high-ranking officials and women of Jinling City. It made her even more conflicted.Sometimes she also thinks to herself that she doesn't like socializing so much, so she really can't be called a good housekeeper, but fortunately, Wei Yueyan's position depends on her merits, so there is no need for her to go back and forth Between various entertainments.

Seeing that his wife was not in high spirits, Lu Shen had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Madam, there is no need to force yourself too much. Although this kind of banquet is indeed for making friends between officials and their families, the spices offered during the banquet are indeed unique. "

"Green."

"Green sinks."

"You persuaded me to go to the banquet in every possible way, why?" Ling Qiufan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the naked eyes could see the condensation of ice crystals.

This girl used to be the most sensible, she hadn't expressed her wishes yet, why did this girl try to persuade her so earnestly, that if something goes wrong, she must be a demon, Ling Qiufan treats people with a layer of separation from childhood, no wonder she won't Think so.Even if Lu Chen has been serving her with all her heart for half a year, she will not listen to persuasion easily because of this, as long as she has doubts, there is no reason to be hanged away without clarifying her confusion.Maybe it's because I'm overthinking, but it's better to be overwhelmed than stupid, this is Ling Qiufan's consistent principle, and Wei Yueyan is not in the mansion now, she has to be more careful in every move, she can't help much at all, Especially not to cause trouble for Wei Yueyan.

Lu Chen was not afraid, just bent his knees, and sighed: "Madam, Lu Chen just felt that the general was not here recently, and Madam was unhappy at home, so he wanted to find some fun to relieve Madam's boredom. But Madam has high vision, we The things these people found are definitely not as good as what the general found for his wife. If they can't find something suitable, they will make her unhappy. This time, the incense banquet is extremely prestigious. We discussed it in private and felt that Madam should like it, so I have repeatedly persuaded Madam to go to the banquet."

At the end, she said again: "It was our negligence that we didn't take into account that Madam always hated these banquets. Madam Wanwang may not be displeased, we will not mention it in the future."

Ling Qiufan sighed inwardly, Lu Chen really knew how to advance and retreat, if he said these words, if he didn't go, he would win their hearts instead, it would be his own fault.She had been upset recently, she held her forehead with some headache and sat back in front of the embroidery frame, "I'll just go to the banquet, I can't do anything for you."

Lu Chen giggled, "Madam loves us~"

Ling Qiufan smiled slightly, picked up the embroidery needle and wanted to continue piercing, Lu Chen came behind her and gently held her shoulder with his hand, "Madam must be a little tired after embroidering for a day, Lu Chen helped Madam press her shoulders." Bar."

Ling Qiu responded, and a comfortable and moderate strength spread from her shoulders and neck.

"When will the incense banquet end?" Before getting into the carriage, Ling Qiufan asked Lu Chen who was being sent outside. Zhan Jin was responsible for Ling Qiufan's safety during this trip, so Lu Shen was left in the general's mansion.

"Generally speaking, they leave before sunset. The female relatives of Jinling City have to come back before the workshop is closed, so everyone will return early. There is no specific time. If Madam is tired or bored, it is also possible to come back earlier. "Lv Shen replied.

Ling Qiufan nodded, thinking that this is appropriate, and said: "I heard that there are some special snacks in Jiangdu, but the taste of Jinling City is not authentic. I will bring some more when I go this time, and then you can arrange for someone to deliver them to you." Go to the mansion of the Minister of Justice."

As soon as Lu Chen heard it, he understood, "Madam, is this going to be sent to my sister? Lu Chen understands~"

Zhan Jin also sighed, "Madam and Madam Qu are really sisters."

Ling Qiu smiled and shook his head, "It's just that she mentioned it to me when we met first, and I just brought it to her on the way this time, so that she won't be greedy next time." Thinking of Ling Xueji pouting at that time, the whole person was leaning on her Ling Qiufan complained in his arms that the dim sum here was not as sweet and delicate as Wu Jun's, and he looked aggrieved because he couldn't go to Jiangdu to eat dim sum, so Ling Qiufan could only smile and sigh.

The carriage drove all the way out of Jinling City, and the bustling streets turned into paddy fields and green hills in an instant. Ling Qiufan curiously opened the curtains of the carriage to see that the dense green forest was already golden, and the farmers were working hard in the fields. They thought that they would be able to harvest plentiful grains soon. A season of hard work.She grew up in Wujun, and even when she went out, she just moved from one gorgeous place to another. How often has she seen the vastness of the world as a mat? On the way from Wujun to Jinling, she also wore a red hijab. Honestly, she sat in the sedan chair with an apple in her arms, even if she was about to suffocate, she would not exceed the rules and lift her hijab to breathe.

Seeing the sunlight breaking through the clouds like arrows, thousands of beams of golden light sprinkled on the lake beside the paddy fields, fat fish occasionally leaped up to the lake surface, shattering the reflection of the farmer carrying the straw on the lake surface into thousands of pieces, Ling Qiufan felt that this time It was right to come out.The scent of tea emerges from the teacups attached to the magnets on the table, against the picturesque scenery of blue sky and blue water, it is really refreshing.

Ling Qiufan rested his eyes in the carriage for a while, and gradually there were voices in his ears, which gradually became louder and more complicated. It must be that he was approaching Jiangdu City, because there were many voices and it was not on a sparsely populated mountain road like before. On the other side, Ling Qiufan slightly opened the car curtain on one side, not daring to reveal more, only leaving a small gap for himself to look out.

"Ma'am, we are almost at Jiangdu City." Zhan Jin leaned in and squeezed the curtain of the car, seeing Ling Qiufan looking outside curiously, explained: "This is a tea stall on the outskirts of the city, people in Jiangdu love to drink tea, even if it is a tea stall The tea is also very fragrant, and many people who come to play or go to the market will rest here before entering the city, we are still early, do you want to have two bowls of tea?"

Ling Qiufan waved his hand and declined, Zhan Jin got out of the car and served two bowls for himself and the driver. The carriage shook slightly, presumably Zhan Jin and the driver got out of the car to drink tea, they were brought out by the General's Mansion People, Ling Qiufan believed that they would not leave the carriage too far, so he let them go, thinking about the banquet for a while before being comfortable and relaxed, his emotions tensed up again.She still loathes this kind of gathering, no matter how well she copes with this kind of gathering, it is difficult to eradicate the resistance to the party brought out of her cold and alienated bones.

With a shake of the carriage, the coachman came back, the reins shook the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the gate of Jiangdu City.Xu Shi had already settled the matters related to entering the city when they were drinking tea just now, they were not blocked from entering the city gate, Ling Qiufan felt inexplicably at ease listening to the noise of people outside the carriage.

Suddenly the carriage stopped at an unknown place after turning two corners, Ling Qiufan was stunned, a corner of the carriage curtain was blown up by the wind, the smell of milk mixed with various greasy smells got into the carriage, and the carriage It was motionless.

No matter how the incense banquet is tasted, it will not be the fragrance of pastries.Ling Qiufan's heart was ringing with alarm, he called "Zhan Jin" twice but got no response, and jumped down without caring much about opening the curtain of the car.Where has she ever made such an extraordinarily bold move, the carriage is too high, and there are no pedals, Ling Qiufan's body slipped and he fell down unexpectedly——

It happened to fall into a warm and soft embrace, and the sweet and greasy aroma filled the nose.

Terrified in Ling Qiufan's heart, he struggled to free himself and turned his head, falling into those smiling pupils like a crescent moon.

"Sister~ You are in such a hurry to get off the carriage, are you anxious to see me~~"

--------------

In the box of Jufu Building, Ling Qiufan looked at his younger sister who stuffed a mouthful of snacks in front of her, agitating her cheeks to chew hard, but she hadn't recovered from the emotion just now.

"So, Master Qu arranged for you and me to meet?"

"Yeah." Ling Xueji took a sip of Biluochun, stuck out her tongue and quickly stuffed a mouthful of crispy cheese into her mouth to enjoy the sweet aftertaste. "Surprise is not surprise, surprise is not surprise."

Ling Qiu nodded fondly on her head, "I'm really surprised and delighted." As she said that, she thought of something again, and asked, "Isn't there such a thing as the fragrant banquet?"

"Of course there is such a thing. It's just that Zhan Jin refused for you. Let's just say that you didn't go to the banquet because of the summer heat on the way, or you won't be able to go to the incense banquet. If you look back, will the time of returning to the general's mansion be right?" On the other hand, Zhan Jin will say that you went shopping again in Jiangdu City." Ling Xueji thought for a while and added: "It's easy for the coachman to explain, just make up anything and pass, Zhan Jin's words are Sister Wei's confidant , I know our affairs, so I won't talk nonsense. Don't misunderstand Luchen, Luchen just got the news, there is no way for Qu Quan to act cautiously, the relationship between your two families is too sensitive, there is one less thing like this There is only one less person who knows. The reason why we chose Jiangdu City is because today's Xiangyan Banquet is basically full of people who are famous and respectable. They can't recognize us, and it's impossible for other ordinary people to recognize us. We sisters can be well together Have fun in Jiangdu City~~~" After speaking, Ling Xueji drank the whole bowl of crispy cheese.

Ling Qiufan looked at his younger sister's plump cheeks and radiant skin, and he was very happy, and also saw that his younger sister's words and deeds had improved a lot compared to before, and he was even more gratified, "Master Qu really cares about you."

"Pfft—" Ling Xueji sprayed the crispy cheese that had just slipped in, all over the table.
