At this point, she said "poof" again, "Look what I said, my daughter is naturally a hundred times stronger than Xie Ruzhuo! But, mother is worried-"
"What are you worried about?" Xie Rulan smiled coldly and said, "Mom, don't forget that the Xie family is currently engaged in an engagement, but Xie Ruyun, the sister, stole my fiancé first. If it's said in this way If so, then if the second prince falls in love with me one day, no one can say anything, right?"
"That's true." Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu became a little excited and said, "Ru Lan, we will definitely get this back, right?"
"That's natural."
After Xie Rulan finished speaking, she couldn't help but look up at the sky outside. It was afternoon, the weather was fine, and Xie Rulan's peak would be created by herself!
After the engagement was finalized, all that remained was the date of application and the official marriage.
On the second day, the Xu family left first and went home to prepare for the marriage.
Yesterday's grand scene seemed to be still in front of him. When Xie Ruzhuo went to Zizhuyuan, he seemed to be able to smell the scent of powder along the road. When things have reached this point, even if Sanfang wants to regret it, it will be of no use.
As soon as she thought about the third bedroom, she saw Mrs. Lu blocking Xie Ruyun's way outside Zizhu Courtyard and saying something.
When Xie Ruzhuo came closer, he heard what she said, "The eldest lady is the eldest lady. No one has proposed marriage for so many years, but I have found my sister's fiancé first. How about living a happy marriage for my sister? how?"
Previously, the Xu family had already sincerely asked to marry Xie Rulan and accepted and adopted Ji. When the date of application was reached, the Xu family turned around and proposed to marry Xie Ruyun because of Lu's unilateral remorse and the events in between. In the final analysis, it was Lu's mother and daughter who did it themselves.
But Mrs. Lu didn't think so. In her opinion, Xie Ruyun's doing this was to embarrass Xie Rulan! Moreover, what Xu Wenyuan said that day in front of the old lady Ji had already spread throughout the Xie family. With such sincerity, how could it not make Mrs. Lu's teeth ache with hatred
Seeing that Mrs. Lu's words were not good, Xie Ruyun only bowed and said, "What are you talking about, third aunt? If you intend to break off the engagement, then the people the Xu family will marry in the future will have nothing to do with you, right? Why do you have to look so hypocritical?" , if you didn’t know, I would have thought that you have regretted it now.”
"Oh, now that I have a backer, my momentum is different. You dare to talk back to me, right?" Seeing that she had become sharp-tongued, Mrs. Lu immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit her, but her hand was stopped by someone. .
"Third Aunt, you are so angry so early in the morning. Could it be that you ate too much chili this morning?"
Xie Ruzhuo held Mr. Lu's hand and said with a smile, "As an elder, why are you getting angry with a junior? It's not good for you to be angry."
After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo put down her hand, and then walked to Xie Ruyun and stood side by side.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo looking protective of Xie Ruyun, Mrs. Lu instantly became furious and snorted, "Xie Ruzhuo, don't be a good person here. Did you also interfere with what happened back then?"
She shouldn't believe that Xie Ruzhuo is a good person now. This girl seems to have become a different person since she was injured a few days ago. If there was no big fang in the middle to sow discord, how could her relationship with Xie Ruzhuo be where it is today!
As she thought about it, Mrs. Lu hated Dafang even more in her heart.
"What is the third aunt saying? What can I do to disturb you? Third aunt, you are so anxious to ask the third sister to break off the engagement, but are you looking for a good husband for the outing on February 2nd?"
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo said these words, Lu's expression couldn't help but change.
On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head. Every year young ladies and young gentlemen meet for an outing. Years ago, Shen Jingci stole the show at the Daughter's Banquet, and she was the one who took the lead in this outing, because this year's outing included three more princes and princesses! It is said that on that day, they will have lunch together at the Royal Racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing. By then, if Xie Rulan can really find a chance to successfully strike up a conversation with the royal family, maybe she can really make the prince fall in love with her at first sight!
This is what Xie Rulan had in mind, and she has been preparing for the outing on February 2 these days. Now that Xie Ruzhuo had revealed her thoughts with one sentence, Mrs. Lu looked panicked and said, "What are you talking about? We are just going out to have fun. Does it mean you must be looking for another husband? If it is what you say, then how can you Didn’t you also go there to find a husband?”
However, she couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo understood in his heart, but smiled softly on his face, "The Xie family's daughter never lacks a husband, so why should she find a husband by herself? Isn't that just lowering her status? Third aunt, don't you think so?"
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, but she couldn't refute. She could only snort and said, "That's natural. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Seeing Mrs. Lu and her maids leaving angrily, Xie Ruzhuo ignored her and turned around and asked, "Sister, have you paid your respects to grandma?"
Xie Ruyun bit her teeth lightly, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Not yet. As soon as I arrived at the door, I was stopped by the third aunt."
"Well, let's go in together." After Xie Ruzhuo said that, he took her hand and entered the Purple Bamboo Courtyard together.
At the beginning of February, everything comes to life.
On February 2nd, the legendary dragon raises its head. Xie Ruzhuo was called by Qianbi early in the morning, urging her to dress up. This little girl couldn't stay at home for a long time. She had asked for grace earlier and wanted to follow today.
Xie Ruzhuo glanced sleepily at the sky outside, and then saw the excitement on Qian Bi's face. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, but he resigned himself to getting up and getting dressed.
After she was dressed and dressed, she heard the maid report outside, "The second lady is here."
The curtain was lifted, and Xie Ruyue walked in with a smile on her face. Today she wore a fine brocade dress, a butterfly skirt and a narcissus skirt, a pony bun, and a ruby twisted gold hairpin inserted at an angle. She looked surprisingly refreshing.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Xie Ruyue immediately smiled and said, "Why are you so slow? It took me half a day, but you haven't finished cleaning up yet."
Seeing the excitement flashing in her eyes, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but laugh, "What are you going to do so early? Are you going to get cold?" Xiao Xinning had trouble getting in and out of the palace. He must have sent a message to her this time, so Xie Ruyue was so anxious. She didn't say anything, but the movements of her hands sped up a lot.
After a hasty meal, Sister Xie Ruzhuo went to the front hall. Except for Xie Ruyun, all the ladies from the other houses are going for this outing in the suburbs of Beijing. Xie Rulan and Xie Ruyin even dressed themselves up, and their bodies were surrounded by makeup, powder, and perfume.
Xie Rufei was dressed normally. She was young and had baby fat on her face. She really went out for fun.
Seeing Sister Xie Ruzhuo, Xie Ruyin ran over with an innocent face and said with a smile, "Second sister, fourth sister, you are so beautiful today."
As soon as she walked in, Xie Ruyue was hit by the aroma of rouge, her face changed, and she immediately took a step back. Xie Ruzhuo didn't take it seriously, nodded and smiled, and said, "Sixth sister looks better today." After saying that, he avoided Xie Ruyin's hand and went to Mrs. Qiao's side.
An obvious look of disappointment flashed in Xie Ruyin's eyes, she bit her lip and said, "Fourth sister, can I ride in a carriage with you today?"
Xie Ruyue was the first to speak, "No." She couldn't stand the rouge on Xie Ruyin!
Hearing this, Xie Ruyin suddenly felt aggrieved and said, "Second sister, fourth sister, have you not forgiven me yet? Ruyin knows that I was wrong." As she said this, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, as if As long as the other party said no word, the tears would roll down.
As soon as she acted like this, Mrs. Liu looked like she wanted to stand up for her daughter. Unfortunately, before she could say anything, Xie Ruzhuo said with confusion on her face, "Sixth sister, what have you done?"
Xie Ruyin's expression suddenly became stiff. Would she want to mention the incident at the daughter's banquet again? Xie Ruyin was not stupid, so naturally she couldn't mention it. She immediately said, "No, it's nothing."
"Oh." Xie Ruzhuo didn't ask any further questions. He turned to Mrs. Qiao and smiled, "Do you have any snacks for mother? The Yun Pian Cake in the south of the city is one of the best. It is said that their other snacks are also good. If mother wants If so, I’ll buy it back together.”
Mrs. Qiao clapped her hand and said, "You are serious. Yongan is making a fuss about eating, so I have to let you go." After saying that, he told Xie Ruyue, "Among these sisters, you are the oldest. , pay more attention and take good care of your sisters."
Mrs. Li on the side also smiled and said, "Ruyue has always been sensible, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. It's just that my Rufei is too naughty, and she will cause trouble for Ruyue along the way."
When Xie Rufei heard this, she immediately said angrily, "Mom, you know how to arrange me. When did I become naughty?" As she said that, she smiled crookedly, walked to Xie Ruzhuo's side, and said, "I will only follow the fourth sister, and I won't go anywhere." Not going."
Among the sisters, Xie Rufei has a relatively good temper. Xie Ruzhuo couldn't bear to tolerate her, so he followed, "As long as you don't find it boring, then follow me."
Seeing them talking and laughing, Xie Ruyin secretly chopped off her feet and ravaged the handkerchief fiercely.
Xie Rulan beside her looked indifferent. Her mind was not here at the moment. The second prince was also going to go today. How to talk to the second prince was what she wanted to do now!
Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's not waste their time here. The two young masters outside must not be able to wait." Xie Huaiqi and Xie Huaiyang are left.
Previously, Xie Huaiqi refused to go, but in the end it was Xie Ruzhuo who persuaded the shy young man to agree to go together.
When several people walked out of the gate of Xie's Mansion, they saw Xie Huaiyang riding on horseback first. He looked dashing in a riding outfit and looked quite a bit like a noble prince. Xie Huaiqi stood aside, with a look on his face. He has never learned equestrian skills, so naturally he cannot ride. At this time, it was a cold spring day, and he was still wearing slightly thick clothes, giving off a sick air.
Xie Ruzhuo was the first to smile and said, "Second brother, why don't you get in the car and stand outside waiting for us?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Huaiyang sneered, "How can a man ride in a car? That's what a coward does."
"Really? But I wonder if the third brother will repeat this sentence when he sees the third prince later?" Xie Ruzhuo raised his eyes and smiled softly, but his words were not polite at all.
The third prince, Xiao Junxi, has been sick since he was a child, and now he is even more frail. There are even rumors that he will not live past the age of twenty-five. The royal family will naturally not explain whether the news is true. However, as a nobleman of Tianhuang, no one dared to look down upon or ridicule him even if he was a little weak. Just because—our most elite Black Cavalry Army is in the hands of this sickly young man.
