Chapter 548 Business
"Don't worry, I will be cautious. Besides, I'm not worried about it." Chu Junlan smiled and comforted Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu smiled, but was still a little worried.
Chu Junlan is a woman with independent thinking and opinions. He forgot about her and felt guilty all the time. Therefore, he felt that he had no position to intervene too much in many things. Just like now, he really wanted to stop Chu Junlan, but in the end he just nodded.
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you here, just be at ease."
Chu Junlan couldn't help pinching Xiao Xu's face: "I know, we Xuxu is the best."
Xiao Xu's face was slightly hot, but he did not avoid Chu Junlan's touch. He even lowered his head slightly to match Chu Junlan's height, and rubbed his cheeks against her palms with nostalgia.
When Chu Junlan saw that he was like a cat, the cold person outside usually showed such a soft side in front of her. Even if he lost his former memory, he still treated her as before. Chu Junlan was in a good mood and touched her a few more without hesitation.
Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu chatted for a while, and then they said goodbye until someone came up from the top of the mountain.
The next morning, Chu Junlan went to visit Princess Zhang and Princess Cai.
Princess Zhang guarded the stupid Xiao Yunpeng and refused to see her. Princess Cai said that she was so troubled that she couldn't get up from bed, and she didn't see her.
Chu Junlan shrugged, she was so happy that she was quiet.
Chu Junlan told Ziyuan and Zi Yan: "I am not at home, don't walk around casually. Ziyuan will go to serve Yufei later. When Yufei asks, she only said that I have something to do in business and I'm busy with it. Zi Yan is at home, closes the courtyard gate, and keeps the guards behind the room. If you encounter any trouble, don't fight head-on. It's serious to protect yourself first."
"I know, the princess should be careful when he goes out. The servants will be guarded at home and there will be no trouble."
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "That's good. You go to the back room and tell Zhang Fan that he will prepare to go out with me."
"Yes." Zi Yan bowed and turned to pass the message.
Unexpectedly, before the carriage in the royal palace was ready, a maid came to Jingxuan to report the news.
"When I returned to the princess, a nanny came outside, saying that it was called by Mrs. Hanmei."
Chu Junlan was puzzled, could there be any change in today's banquet?
Chu Junlan took Zhang Fan quickly to the door, but saw a red-wheeled canopy carriage parked in front of the mansion. When the maid who came to hand over the post yesterday saw her, she immediately saluted her.
"Please to the princess."
"Mummy is exempted from the gift, but what does Mrs. Hanmei have to give?"
The servant laughed and said, "Our Madam Hanmei knew that the prince's concubine was preparing to attend the banquet, so she specially prepared a carriage and horse, and ordered her servants to pick you up."
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the servant with a smile: "Oh?"
Mrs. Hanmei has a transcendent status, is always cold and distant to people, and is disliked by the excitement. It is strange that she went out to hold a banquet at Hongfeng Mountain. Now she is more enthusiastic and ordered someone to pick her up. This is really not in line with Mrs. Hanmei's usual style of behavior.
The servant smiled and looked at Chu Junlan's expression with flexible eyes: "Criminal Princess, are we going to set off now?"
Chu Junlan suddenly smiled freely, his smile brightly as the scorching sun: "Okay, since Mrs. Hanmei is kind, it would be bad if she delayed it. Mrs. Hanmei sent you to pick me up? Didn't you say I was not allowed to take my entourage?"
The servant laughed dryly and said, "Where is more people, Mrs. Hanmei likes it."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, jumped onto the carriage, and sat on the small mattress covered with dark blue cotton mattress.
Zhang Fan and the servant sat on the shaft of the carriage, one left and one right.
The princess was not a maid but a follower. The servant thought it was strange, but Chu Junlan had a noble status and had always acted unexpectedly. The servant didn't dare to ask more questions. He just wanted to take the person properly and then he would do it as an errand, so he rushed into the carriage seriously.
The wheels ran over the ground, making a squeak, the horse's hooves hit, the ring bells jingled, and as the carriage swayed out of the capital, the speed gradually increased.
Chu Junlan lifted up a corner of the window screen and looked at the rapidly retreating scenery. Seeing that the Red Maple Mountain was getting closer and closer, he became more and more alert.
She didn't know much about Mrs. Hanmei, but this time she went out, she always felt strange.
The scenery of Hongfeng Mountain is different in all seasons, but it is also refreshing. The carriage slowly parked on the side of the road at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain. The servant jumped off the shaft, put down a black painted wooden bench, and said with a smile: "Prince, please."
Chu Junlan then held the servant's hand and got out of the car, raised his eyes and looked around.
The blue sky is high and the green is stacked, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant everywhere. Here you can see the roof of the Red Maple Mountain Villa halfway up the mountain.
Chu Junlan quickly stepped up the stairs.
Zhang Fan and the servant followed Chu Junlan one after another.
Chu Junlan was extremely physically strong, and Zhang Fan also had the skills to do it. When he came to Zhuangzi, Chu Junlan's face was neither blushed nor breathing, but made the servant lady panting like a cow and her face flushed.
"Criminal Princess, you will go and spread the news later."
The servant buckled and saluted, and before he could take a breath, he quickly walked into the village.
But in a moment, a middle-aged man came towards him.
The man was tall and strong, wearing a royal blue straight body, with a high nose and thick eyebrows. He smiled three times when he saw someone, and his temperament was gentle, which made people feel very acquainted.
"Criminal Princess." Before he could get close, the man bowed and bowed, "Criminal Princess is glad, Mrs. Hanmei is very happy. Please come in."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, saying, "I dare to ask what you call me?"
"The surname Ge in Xia is the manager of Mrs. Hanmei."
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Mr. Ge. The little woman has something to ask about. I wonder if Mr. Ge can solve the problem?"
"Just keep your orders, and I will definitely tell you everything."
Seeing that the surrounding trees and flowers were far away, Chu Junlan chose an open place and stopped: "I won't be polite to you if I treat you. I dare to ask the manager, since today is a banquet hosted by Mrs. Hanmei, why haven't you seen the other guests?"
Manager Ge smiled and said, "You don't know that you came earlier, and you have already entered the village."
"So that's it. So those who didn't come by carriages? When I was just at the foot of the mountain, I didn't see any signs of carriages passing by on the ground."
Manager Ge met Chu Junlan's bright eyes, which seemed to be aware of everything, and smiled and said, "The weather is dry, so it's hard to leave a trace."
"Yes, the weather is dry, Qiu Laohu is still amazing, I think we should not delay each other's time. If Manager Ge has anything to say, don't be careful to say it bluntly. I believe Mrs. Hanmei will also pay attention to your poor efficiency, what do you think?"
Manager Ge's expression changed when he was choked by Chu Junlan's words. He looked at Chu Junlan carefully. Seeing that she had only one follower and had no weapons on her body, he became more and more confident in his heart, and he was too lazy to pretend to be a smile on his face.
