Not long after Xing Minzhi's family letter was sent back to Xing's family, the Han family couldn't help laughing, and quickly sent someone to inform Su Yan.
When the news was sent to Prince Jin's mansion, Su Yan was teaching the butler Chu Han to read the account books.
Three years have passed, and Chu Han has really grown into a big girl. Compared with three years ago, Chu Han has stabilized a lot, and finally looks like a real lady.
Now Chu Han can be regarded as the number one lady among ladies in Beijing. Since her fifteenth birthday, people who have come to propose marriage have almost broken the threshold, but Chu Yan and Su Yan have always been reluctant to part with it so early He promised his daughter out, and suppressed everything, planning to keep her at home for two more years.
Chu Han was scratching his head when he suddenly heard the woman say that Xing Min left the border a month ago and estimated that he would return to the capital soon.
I haven't seen him for three years. Chu Han doesn't have a deep impression of Xing Minzhi. He only remembers his appearance. He remembers that he was very kind to him when he was a child. Apart from that, there is nothing else. Now I heard that Xing Minzhi is coming back. , Chu Han just looked at the woman one more time, and then lowered his head and looked at the ledger intently.
Su Yan sent the old woman away, and when she turned around, she saw her daughter was doing the calculations carefully, her green fingers were constantly doing the calculations, her earnest side face was extremely delicate and beautiful.
"Your uncle will be back soon." Su Yan said to Chu Han.
"I heard." Chu Han replied, and turned to look at his mother and concubine: "Anyway, you will be busy after uncle comes back. I guess grandma will ask you to help me find an aunt. Anyway, you are now I'm showing my brother a wedding, so let's do it together."
Su Yan heard the words and said: "Your brother has a very high vision. I have seen so many girls, and he is not satisfied with any of them. Your uncle may not be a good answer. Let me see, this job is not good. Easy."
Chu Han didn't reply, just looking at the book while looking at the abacus and snickering. Her brother obviously disagreed with the ladies that the mother and concubine said. It's a pity that her brother didn't let her tell others , Let her mother and concubine worry first.
After finishing calculating the account book that Su Yan gave him, Chu Han pushed the abacus on the table, stood up and rubbed his sore waist and said to Su Yan: "You said that I can go out after calculating this account For play."
"Where do you want to go again?" Su Yan asked while checking Chu Han's account book.
Chu Han said: "I made an appointment with Lu'er and Sister Jiu'er to go shopping." The Lu'er that Chu Han said was her aunt, Xu Lu, the daughter of Princess Rongyang, who was younger than her. one year old.
Su Yan pointed to the seat next to her and said to Chu Han, "Sit down, I'm not allowed to leave until I've checked."
When Chu Han heard this, she knew that her concubine's mother was definitely going to say nothing, so she immediately pouted: "Concubine mother! You are playing tricks!"
Su Yan didn't raise her head and said, "Who knows if you fooled me with a random number, it's not like you haven't done this kind of thing before."
Chu Han pursed his lips, thought for a while, and a sly light suddenly flashed in his peach-blossom eyes.
She sat on the chair beside Su Yan, hugged Su Yan's arm and began to act coquettishly.
Su Yan really couldn't stand her daughter's acting like a baby, so she could only close the account book helplessly: "Go, come back early."
"Concubine mother is the best." Chu Han smiled and kissed Su Yan on the cheek, then ran out like a gust of wind, called Qing Zhi and Qing Yun, got into the carriage and left the mansion.
Su Yan stood at the door and looked at Chu Han's leaving back, she could only shake her head helplessly.
Arriving at the place agreed with Xu Lu and Xia Jiu'er early in the morning, as soon as Chu Han entered the door, he heard Xia Jiu'er say, "Why are you so late? Our tea has been cold for two pots."
Although Xia Jiuer is only two months older than Chu Han, but because one was born a year ago and the other was born a year later, the difference is one year. Xia Jiuer looks more like Xia Mochu, and is much more beautiful than Zhong Ning. However, that temperament followed Zhong Ning's. She caused countless troubles from childhood to adulthood, and even the prince dared to reach out and pinch her. Compared with her, Chu Han is simply a model among ladies.
Chu Han picked up his teacup and said, "It's good to be able to come out, my mother and concubine almost put me at home."
Xu Lu smiled and said, "I just told Sister Xia that you must have been detained by your aunt."
Xu Lu is the second child and eldest daughter of Princess Rongyang.
The Xu family now has two boys and three girls. The eldest son, Xu Jing, and the eldest daughter, Xu Lu, were born to Princess Rongyang, and the other concubine and two concubines were born to Xu Jinyu's aunt.
The concubine and concubine are clearly distinguished in Beijing. Chu Han, Xia Jiu'er and the other concubine daughters have never taken the initiative to make friends with concubine daughters. Xu Lu has never brought concubine sisters out, and Chu Han is not familiar with them.
"Lu'er still understands me." Chu Han said as he sat down and took a sip of water.
Xia Jiu'er couldn't sit still for a long time, and immediately took Chu Han's hand and walked out: "Don't rest, hurry up and go shopping, it will be dark in a while."
Chu Han was dragged out by Xia Jiu'er, and Xu Lu followed behind with a smile.
The three young girls attracted the attention of most people on the street as soon as they came out of the restaurant. Xia Jiu'er and Chu Han didn't care, but Xu Lu asked the maid to bring the curtain and forced them to put it on.
It can be said that Xu Lu has received the true biography of Princess Rongyang. She is extremely polite at a young age, and she usually counts her steps when she walks.
Xia Jiu'er said that she wanted to see the jewelry, so the three of them went to Jinxiufang and went directly to the second floor.
Xia Jiuer went to see the hairpins. Chu Han and Xu Lu were casually looking at them at the counter. Xu Lu never liked to dress up, and now she was just looking for something new. Yes, just to look at it.
Walking to the counter where the jade pendant was placed, Chu Han saw a sapphire jade pendant that was quite unique, so he picked it up and played with it: "This jade pendant is really pretty."
Xu Lu glanced at it and said, "Look at the pattern, is this worn by men?"
"Yes, it's a pity." Chu Han said while comparing the size of the jade pendant, thinking whether to take it back as a gift to his brother.
Xu Lu suggested, "It will be my brother's birthday in a few days. Aren't you still thinking about what to give him as a birthday present? I think this is pretty good."
When mentioning this, Chu Han was a little hesitant. Xu Jing is seventeen this year, and she is fifteen. Logically speaking, although the two of them are cousins, they should avoid suspicion. suitable
"What's the matter?" Seeing Chu Han's hesitation, Xu Lu asked.
Chu Han took the jade pendant and told Xu Lu about his concerns.
Hearing this, Xu Lu nodded in agreement, and blamed herself: "I didn't think of this, sister Han, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"It's okay." Chu Han smiled and handed the jade pendant to the shopkeeper: "Wrap it up." While talking, Chu Han explained to Xu Lu: "I'll go back and give it to my brother. I saw you a few days ago. My mother and concubine made him a moon-white robe, and it would be very convenient to hang this jade pendant."
Watching the shopkeeper take the jade pendant, Xu Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing an unhappiness.
Chu Han had been talking to the shopkeeper, but he didn't notice Xu Lu's expression.
