Chapter 205 The Rival in Love is Extraordinarily jealous(1/2)
Chu Junlan was persuaded by them and was slightly moved.
After all, in the case of visiting Duke Mao Guo’s Mansion, in addition to the daily necessities and social events, she spent most of the rest of the time embroidered wedding dresses. Even when she went to the royal palace to treat Xiao Xu, she had to ask Xu for instructions every time, and Madam Guo also had to follow her to avoid suspicion. This shows that the family affairs of Duke and Duke Family are different from those of Chu Family.
Although she has strong adaptability and is not a person who can't calm down, it is also a good thing to be able to relax.
"I'll go back to my mother first. If my mother agrees, I'll go with you." Chu Junlan said with a smile.
Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's accompany you to see your second aunt."
As he spoke, Chu Lingxi walked forward with Chu Junlan's arm while Chu Shen rushed forward, backing with his hands behind his back, chattering all the way and talking about how fun it was to ride a horse.
The third aunt Ren is cheerful, and her children are like her. She is very good at socializing and is close to her. Chu Junlan has also thanks to them for helping her boredom these days.
Xu had just returned from Chunhui Garden and saw Chu Junlan being pulled and pulled into the door by Chu Lingxi. He just lowered his head and ate tea, and coughed gently.
Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen hurriedly stopped, tidy up their clothes, and saluted in a regular manner: "Second aunt, okay."
Chu Junlan was amused by their appearance and politely said, "Mother."
Xu smiled and nodded: "You three are in a hurry, but what's the important thing?"
"Second aunt," Chu Lingxi smiled sweetly, "We want to go out for a walk today and want to invite Sister Lan to go with us. Sister Lan is a girl-red girl all day long, so boring."
"Yes, my second aunt!" Chu Shen was ten years old and said in a childish voice. "Sister Lan went out to play with us for a day, and we promise to come back before dark."
Xu smiled helplessly: "It's a cold day, it's not safe to go out for a walk. It's not that you are not allowed to play, but that the walk is too dangerous, and it's not good if you get infected with the cold."
"Brother Zhan said that there are only a few girls and Mr. Xiao going to today. Everyone is going to the 'Snow Farm' that they used to go. Sister Lan hasn't met you yet. It's time to see the Chinese New Year, so I'll find an opportunity to get to know you." Chu Lingxi said.
Chu Shen also said: "We can find someone to lead the horse, and we won't take risks randomly. My second aunt will agree!"
Xu was so embarrassed by Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen that he couldn't help but look at Chu Junlan with kindness: "Sister Lan, you must be careful and not take risks."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "Yes, don't worry, mother."
"You two are also allowed to take risks, and let someone lead the horse away. Don't run away in the blink of an eye!"
"Thank you, second aunt! We will definitely not take risks!" Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen nodded together, turned around and pulled Chu Junlan outward.
Xu couldn't help but get up and chased after him two steps: "Change in thick clothes, don't catch a cold!"
"I understand!" Chu Junlan replied loudly, laughing happily.
She could feel that Xu was sincere in her. Even if she was not her biological mother, both of them recognized this identity by following the order and tried to give their sincerity to each other.
Chu Junlan returned to the room and changed into a silver-red horse riding suit, a beautiful red plum cloak with a big red and white-haired collar, and a soft boot in deer leather.
This outfit was one of the winter clothes that Xu ordered Madam Guo to send to her two days ago.
Xu did not hesitate to buy her hair and dresses.
Madam Guo said at the time: "In the early years, the Duke of the State started his country with troops. Now, although the Duke of the State has long since retired, the Prince is a civil servant, but the traditions in the family cannot be lost. The wife said that even if it is a daughter, Duan Luan is very important to have a good physique."
Chu Junlan couldn't help laughing again, and tidied her long hair at the Western beauty mirror. Seeing the pearl tassels on the hairpin that Xiao Xu gave her shaking. He was worried that he would lose it while riding a horse, so he put the hairpin and earrings into the makeup box, and tied the long hair high into a ponytail with only a red ribbon.
Chu Junlan told Nuomin: "You just look after the house at home, and I will take Zi Yan out."
Nuomin knew that Chu Junlan was protecting her, so he nodded obediently: "Yes, girl, don't worry, I will never leave."
Chu Junlan smiled and pinched her face.
When I arrived at the front of the mansion, two carriages had already been lined up in front of the door.
When Chu Lingxi saw Chu Junlan coming, she lifted up the curtain of the car and waved to her: "Sister Lan, come quickly."
On another carriage, Chu Zhan and Chu Shen also leaned out. Seeing Chu Junlan changing into a horse-riding outfit, they both laughed and told the coachman: "Let's go."
Along the way, Chu Lingxi was like a happy bird, chirping like a cage. Chu Junlan only then could she hear the clue from her words.
"You said that there are also Dingguo Duke's Mansion who are going to ride horses today?"
"Yes, Brother Zhan said that he went to several families, including the Duke Ding Mansion, and it seems to be from Gege's hometown. But it doesn't matter. Let's just play with ours, and Sister Lan just wants to know them."
Chu Junlan nodded clearly. She recognized the people from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, but the people from Gege's hometown had never dealt with each other.
When the carriage came to the outskirts of the city, a red lantern in the snowy wilderness could be seen hanging high from a distance, which looked particularly lively in the gray-white winter day.
"It's there when we arrived." Chu Lingxi looked out the window and pointed it out to Chu Junlan excitedly.
Chu Junlan nodded, pulled Chu Lingxi to sit down, sorted her double-ring bun, and then straightened the light green brocade cloak that was tilted halfway.
Chu Lingxi spitted out her tongue: "Thank you, Sister Lan."
"You have to be welcome." Chu Junlan likes Chu Lingxi's temperament very much.
This girl is a noble girl but not arrogant. She seems lively and ostentatious in her dealings with people, but in fact she is smart everywhere and has a demeanor. In the past few days, Chu Junlan can't help but compare the two girls from the Chu family and finally came to a conclusion.
Tutoring is really important for personal growth!
The carriage slowly stopped, and the servant wearing a fur coat and a fur hat in front of the horse farm gate immediately came up and saluted with his hands rubbed his cold red hands.
"I wish you a blessing. Is the third young master here?"
"Yes." Chu Zhan jumped gently from the shaft, turned around and looked at Chu Junlan, Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen got out of the car.
Just then, a "creaking" sound of wheels rolling in the snow from far to near.
Several people looked at the sound, and before they could see the carriage, a white light rushed over and jumped into Chu Junlan's arms.
Chu Junlan was surprised: "Little Guy!"
The little ferret has fluffy fur, round ears, shiny black bean eyes, and the little claws hold Chu Junlan's fingers and stretch their necks to rub Chu Junlan's face.
"Where have you been going these days? I moved, and I'm afraid you won't find me. If I don't come, I'll go find you."
"Where does it run? It lives in my horse shed and refuses to leave!" Lu Wansong turned over and dismounted, curled his lips, "You raised a little ferret, don't tell me if you don't care about it, let it run around outside, and pester me to the whirlwind, which makes me lose so many chickens in vain."
"Wansong, don't be rude." The luxurious Zhu Lu car warming curtain was lifted up, and Lu Ruohan, wearing a lilac cloak and a snow-white rabbit, leaned out. As soon as he saw Chu Junlan, he curled his eyes, "Jun Lan."
"Ruohan!" Chu Junlan put Xiaoguai obediently on his shoulders and went forward to hold hands with Lu Ruohan to greet each other.
"I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?" Lu Ruohan's eyes were filled with worries and apologies, and whispered in Chu Junlan's ear, "I was detained by my mother at home and was not allowed to come out. I can't even see you."
Chu Junlan knew that it was because the troubles happened in her family were too big before. Duke Ding now holds some military power, so his family should naturally be more cautious in their actions. No matter how good she is with Lu Ruohan, Lu Ruohan cannot stand on behalf of the Lu family, so he can only avoid suspicion carefully.
"I understand. I am the same, there are too many changes. Now I can't go out at will."
Lu Ruohan nodded in a clear way.
Lu Wansong approached and Chu Junlan greeted each other.
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Criminal, you have grown a lot after not seeing each other for many days."
Lu Wansong snorted: "Nothing nonsense, just say whatever you know, I will grow up?"
"I was not scared to escape from Xiao Guaiguai. Could it be that he has grown up?"
"You!" Lu Wansong glared, "I haven't said that your pet is eating and drinking for free at my house, and he is still occupying the whirlwind! You will be in prison this time, and come to my house to eat and mix, I won't agree."
"Jun Lan, don't listen to his stubbornness. He cut the chickens he fed to the little ferret himself." Lu Ruohan demoted the situation. "Your little ferret and Tornado have become good friends for some reason. Every time Wan Song goes to the horse shed, he has to bring pine nut candy and fresh chicken."
Lu Wansong rolled her eyes, but her face turned red.
Seeing that Chu Junlan was so familiar with the prince of Dingguo and Princess Shengping, she seemed to be a little surprised that even the pet ferret she raised was temporarily fostered in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Chu Zhan lowered his eyes and touched his nose. He didn't expect that the rumors were true. Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan were really having handkerchiefs.
Is this...
Chu Zhan took Chu Lingxi and Chu Shen and also came forward to salute Lu Wansong and Lu Ruohan.
Although they are all from the Duke's Mansion, their identities are a little worse.
Lu Wansong is the prince of Dingguo Duke, Lu Ruohan is the daughter of Dingguo Duke, and Princess Shengping.
However, Chu Zhan was just the second son of Duke Mao's prince. He had no title and was unable to obtain fame and honor. He even had no idle position in the court.
The most important thing is that Duke Ding Guo is now holding military power and is in full swing. In comparison, Duke Mao Guo has retreated for many years.
It was precisely because of these gaps that Chu Zhan was unable to make progress. Even when he saw Lu Ruohan, he could not look at her more calmly.
Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan who had always been energetic and smiling, so quiet, and after thinking about it, he understood the whole story and couldn't help but look back at Lu Ruohan's expression.
But Lu Ruohan was hanging her long eyelashes, her auricles and neck seemed to be rubbed with rouge.
As if she noticed her eyes, Lu Ruohan looked up and looked like water. She changed the subject with a little shame: "Let's go in together."
"Okay." Chu Zhan responded immediately, and realized that he was too quick and lowered his head.
Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan and Lu Ruohan's faces without a trace, and realized that he held Lu Ruohan in one hand and Chu Lingxi in the other, and the three of them walked in front.
Lu Wansong, Chu Zhan and Chu Shen walked side by side behind, chatting while choosing horses first.
The horse farm prepared a warm tent, and a charcoal basin was burned in the middle, and the tea was placed in a bamboo thermos, using the best black tea.
Zi Yan poured tea for Chu Junlan, Lu Ruohan and Chu Lingxi, and retreated aside with the other maids.
Chu Lingxi stared at the little ferret on Chu Junlan's shoulder curiously: "Sister Lan, is it called Xiao Guaiguai? Is it biting? Can I touch it?"
Chu Junlan nodded and gave Xiao Guaiguai to Chu Lingxi. Xiao Guaiguai did not resist and sat in Chu Lingxi's palm and looked at her curiously.
Chu Junlan asked Lu Ruohan: "I see that you have cleared your face a little, and your face is not very good. Are you sick?"
Lu Ruohan lowered her eyes and shook her head: "It's nothing." Her voice was muffled, and she seemed to be in trouble.
