At the end of summer and early autumn, the weather was no longer as hot as it was in the middle of summer. Jin Lan's body was wearing only a beige, dark flower cloud patterns, and a moon-white water pattern on his clothes. He was wearing only a dark flower pattern, and a moon-white water pattern on his dress, and the goose-fat jade hairpin on his head was taken away by that man. This time, he only had a light pink silk flower on his head, and on his hand was an ordinary jade buddhist bracelet.
Although it was almost dusk, the sun was still shining overhead. She walked from the East District nonstop. She had been thinking about things, so she naturally did not feel much. Now that she had recovered, she felt that it had gotten hot. Even after sitting in silence for a quarter of an hour, he still felt that his body was somewhat dry, so he took off his thin satin cloak.
Bi He carefully put the cape on his elbow and gently held Jin Lan up, and advised: "Miss, let's go back. We didn't even inform Madam that we were coming out just now.
Jin Lan was right. His mother did not come when he was searching the chamber. She must have been caught. As soon as the old woman left, she went to the back of the mountain. Her mother would probably go to the house to look for her. If she didn't go back, it would be a huge mess.
She nodded, and with Bi He's support, she turned and walked back the way they came. Halfway there, she saw Hui Xiu jogging towards him from afar, holding onto something in her hands.
"My good girl! "No matter how you went out, you didn't even say anything. Madam was so worried that she was about to lose her temper!" Hui Xiu ran over, but before she could even gasp for breath, she started sputtering nonstop. Her reddened eyes and anxious face could not be hidden. With that, she turned to Bi He and said, "You too, in that situation just now, if it was not absolutely necessary, my wife would have definitely come to my house. After waiting for everyone to leave, she hurried over to take a look. The girl had disappeared, so how could his wife not be worried? If it wasn't for Madam Qin, Madame Qin would have personally come to look for her! "Miss is still young and doesn't know what's good for you. You're the old man next to her, why aren't you alert?"
Bi He secretly cursed herself for not being thorough enough, and did not even think of reporting to her wife. Being scolded by Hui Xiu in such a way, her mouth moved, and in the end, she lowered her head and remained silent, her face full of shame.
When Jin Lan heard how anxious the Madame SHen was, she immediately blamed herself in her heart. Seeing that Bi He had been scolded for him, she felt a little guilty, so she pulled on Hui Xiu's sleeve and said anxiously: "Big Sister Hui Xiu, it's my fault. I made mother worry.
Hui Xiu did not dare say anything about Jin Lan, and upon hearing that, she immediately nodded his head, and covered Jin Lan's head with the thing in his hand. It was her Drapery Cap!
It was only then that Jin Lan remembered that he had left in a hurry, and his heart had tensed up. For a moment, he didn't even remember to bring a Drapery Cap with him. Although the back mountain was at the back of the East District and had very few people, there were many people who came to enjoy the incense today. There was a chance that there would be people coming to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery. The Lingji Temple was not a Primordial Priory, only receiving female guests. There were all sorts of benevolent men and women here, if they accidentally encountered it, it was likely that the reputation of the Second Miss would become bad if word of this spread.
She could not help but let out a layer of cold sweat as she raised her head to look at Bi He. Her heart sank. She had no idea what people she had met along the way.
Seeing Jin Lan looking at him, Bi He more or less guessed what she was thinking and quickly shook her head.
In other words, he did not manage to touch it. Jin Lan heaved a long sigh of relief, and revealed a grateful smile towards Hui Xiu who was currently focusing on tying her hat.
Clad in a thin veil, her vision was somewhat obstructed, and her surroundings were a blur. Fortunately, Hui Xiu was leading the way, so Bi He followed closely behind to support him, and they did not walk slowly, but in half an incense's time, they entered the Eastern Courtyard's gate. Walking up to the door of Madame SHen's room, Jin Lan suddenly heard a sweet laughter coming from inside.
This unfamiliar person revealed a familiar laughter. Jin Lan recognized that this was the Madam Qin that Hui Xiu had mentioned earlier. She was not very familiar with Madam Qin. After all, they were not close to the Madame SHen in their previous life and there were very few opportunities for them to appear together.
As such, he could only vaguely remember that this lady seemed to have a deep relationship with the Madame SHen.
When Hui Xiu's figure appeared in front of the door, the chatter and laughter in the room suddenly stopped. Madame SHen looked at the door, the anxiety in her eyes completely exposed.
Jin Lan didn't bother with the Drapery Cap. He crossed the threshold and quickly walked towards the Madame SHen. "Mother."
Madame SHen pulled his daughter in front of him and helped her remove the Drapery Cap. She placed her on a few small cubs at the side and looked at them with anger and heartache for a while, only when he saw that she was safe and sound did she say angrily: "Why don't you say something when you're out enjoying the scenery? It really makes me worry." After that, he continued, "Hurry up and go meet your Aunt Qin and your Sister Ruhan."
Jin Lan knew that Lady Shen was trying to find an excuse for him to wander around the temple, so he nodded obediently. He then turned to the right and saw a lady about the same age as Mistress Shen sitting on a chair. She was dressed in red, stone, green, plum, damask, and a dark golden bamboo dress with a jade seal on it. Although her appearance was dignified, this kind of clothing made her seem a bit beautiful.
She knew that the person in front of her was the Madam Qin that Madame SHen had mentioned before. She walked forward and greeted him: "Lan Er greets Aunt."
"Alright, alright …" Madame Qin smiled as she squinted her eyes, holding Jin Lan's small hand to help her up. After examining her for a while, she laughed and praised: "Truly a painful girl, your mother is biased, and hid you away. She isn't even willing to bring you over for me to see, as if she was afraid that I would snatch you away." With that, she instructed the servants behind him: "Qing Yu, go and get the gifts that you prepared."
Qing Yu acknowledged her, then turned and left, probably heading to Madam Qin's room to retrieve her things.
Madame SHen pursed her lips and laughed, her eyes filled with joy, "I only know how to talk to me, in my opinion, Luhan is the one that will cause pain, don't you think the heavens are hiding in your mansion? Speaking of which, you won't be able to hide for long. At that time, the people who come to ask for marriage will probably step on the doorstep of your residence. "
Jin Lan looked at Madame SHen, she was stunned, she had never seen Madame SHen revealing such a beautiful smile, even though she was happy for him, she was only happy, but not happy. There were too many knots in her heart … Looks like leaving the Ye Family temporarily was the right decision.
"I only know how to spout nonsense." The Madame Qin pretended to be angry and spat at Madame SHen, ignoring her smiling face, he lightly patted Jin Lan's hands and pointed at the little girl sitting below him: "This is your Sister Ruhan."
Meng Ruhan, who was sitting upright at the side, had been sizing her up ever since Jin Lan entered the door. Although there were many sons of Meng Family, only she was her precious daughter. She had been surrounded by her elder brother ever since she was young. Now that she saw such a beautiful girl who was similar in age to her, she naturally felt extremely fond of her.
Hearing Madame SHen's teasing, Meng Ruhan lowered her head in embarrassment, but then heard her mother mentioning her to the girl. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Jin Lan with sparkling eyes.
Seeing the familiar face, Jin Lan couldn't help but be excited. Her impression of Madam Qin wasn't deep, but she was extremely familiar with Meng Ruhan. Because in her previous life, Meng Ruhan was a close friend of hers.
Perhaps it was because he had grown up with his brothers since childhood, but Meng Ruhan's personality was very valiant. Jin Lan remembered that the first time she accompanied Madame SHen out to view a flower was during Meng Family, and she also got to know her at that time. Unexpectedly, they had met in Lingji Temple, exactly one year earlier than in his previous life.
Jin Lan could not hold back his joy, and blessed Meng Ruhan: "Sister Ruhan."
Meng Ruhan immediately stood up and bowed towards Jin Lan. "Sister Jinlan."
The two held hands and laughed at each other. They sat down and started talking, which surprised Madame Qin, "My daughter is good at everything, it's just that she is a bit high-spirited. Originally, I was worried that they wouldn't be able to get along, but who would have thought … "Look, he's even more familiar with it than us."
Madame SHen smiled and nodded, looking at Jin Lan lovingly. She could tell that her daughter truly liked interacting with Meng Ruhan, and that Ru Han's character was with Madam Qin, making her an extremely good person. Her Meng Family family situation was also not bad, so if she traveled more in the future, maybe … Her eyes flashed, she turned to Madame Qin and said: "I remember that you don't like bumpiness the most, how did you come here personally?"
Madame Qin picked out a candied plum flower from the fruit box with a special piece of silver. Hearing Madame SHen's words, her hands paused for a moment as a happy expression surfaced on her face: "I want to snatch the first incense of Wen Jin's Bodhisattva Temple tomorrow morning."
Bodhisattva Wen Mu? Madame SHen's heart was moved, his eyes also lit up, "Could it be that Zhan Xuan …"
"That's right!" "He wants to participate in next year's spring event. My brother sent a letter saying that he has already arranged everything so that he can go to the capital as soon as possible so that he can study in peace. I'm afraid that in another half a month, he will have to leave."
Seeing Madame Qin's happy face, a trace of envy flashed past her eyes, but she quickly organized her thoughts. She lifted the teacup and took a sip, then continued to chat with him. It was only until the maid called Qing Yu returned did Madame Qin pull Jin Lan to her side once again, and personally give the thing Qing Yu had placed on the tray to her.
Jin Lan looked at it. It was a band with red agate on it. The agate was bright and vibrant. It was obvious that it was a rare treasure.
The Madame SHen naturally gave her an equal gift. A jade lotus petal with the same heart as her was like a pool of blue water, slightly moving would be like a ripple of blue water.
After a fast meal, the sky grew darker and darker. Jin Lan and Meng Ruhan made an appointment to burn incense together tomorrow before reluctantly returning to their respective rooms.
Bi He waited for Jin Lan to collapse, but before she had the chance to sleep, a knock came from the door.
