spring cloud warm

Chapter 41
On the north bank of the lake, orchids grow in clusters of different varieties, but they all bloom very well.

I don't know whether it is due to the water and soil, or other reasons, this place has grown a lot of orchids since ancient times.

Many people transplant the bluegrass here to their homes, but no matter how carefully they are maintained, they are not as luxuriant and beautiful as in the wild.

The gravel road was narrow, Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan walked ahead hand in hand, followed by four servant girls.

Jiang Nuan suddenly smiled, and whispered close to Xu Chunjun's ear: "Sister Xu, I told you not to be angry. I think you and Mr. Chen are a good match."

Xu Chunjun heard this, but said to her solemnly: "He and I just talked a few more words because of Liu Er's matter, and we will always be just two completely irrelevant people."

"Sister, are you angry?" Jiang Nuan regretted her slip of the tongue, "It's all my fault, talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

"I'm not angry with you," Xu Chunjun smiled, "It's just that there is absolutely no possibility between me and him."

"Then...then why?" Jiang Nuan's thoughts were not delicate enough, but she felt that Chen Sijing was obviously interested in Xu Chunjun.And Xu Chunjun is waiting in his boudoir, how can it be completely impossible?
"You will know in the future that marriage is never just about the individual." Xu Chunjun did not mention the matter between himself and Zheng Wuji to Jiang Nuan again. This matter has not been announced to the public, not to mention that there are too many involved in it.

Jiang Nuan sighed: "Sister Xu, I know what you mean, like you and me, marriage matters have never been in their own hands."

So he told about the matter of the Hong family the day before yesterday.

Ask Xu Chunjun: "Sister, I have been thinking in my heart these days. Is my stepmother really doing my best, or is she using me? What he said does not sound unreasonable, but in my heart It still doesn't feel good, am I being too narrow-minded?"

Xu Chunjun is not as simple as Jiang Nuan, and anyone with a discerning eye will know this at the first sight.

Therefore, it is better to be able to listen than to be able to speak. Meng's clever words and tricks can't change her purpose of using Jiang Nuan to cling to high-ranking officials.

Jiang Nuan is one year younger than Xu Chunjun, and has only been in Beijing for a few months, so why is she in such a hurry to propose marriage?
Besides, if the second young master of the Hong family is really getting better, how can he lower his status and marry the daughter of a fifth-rank official?
Moreover, this daughter grew up in her grandfather's house since she was a child. The Jiang family didn't fully understand her character and temperament yet, so how could they feel confident that they would make an appointment as soon as they met?
But these words cannot be said to Jiang Nuan.

It's not that Xu Chunjun wants to stay out of the matter, let alone watch Jiang Nuan's excitement.

But she knew that Jiang Nuan had nothing to hide in her heart, and Sang's mother was short-tempered.

Once these words are known to them, they will definitely not be able to maintain superficial harmony with the Meng family when they go back.

In this way, Jiang Nuan's situation will only become more difficult.

What's more, Xu Chunjun can see that Meng Shi cares about her reputation very much, so she can't tear her face apart. Anyway, with this fig leaf, she always doesn't want to be too explicit.

So, she told Jiang Nuan: "You have to remember, first of all, don't contradict your father, and don't contradict your stepmother in front of him."

Men don't pay much attention to matters in the inner house. Jiang Nuan is not favored at all, and if she contradicts her father, she will be even more disliked.

If Meng Shi blows the wind again, Jiang Nuan will definitely be wronged.

Jiang Nuan nodded.

Xu Chunjun continued: "Secondly, don't ask Mama Sang, Lingdang and Zhuizi to leave your side."

Xu Chunjun had long suspected that Meng Shi deliberately put his own people in front of Jiang Nuan, so that it would be easier to manipulate her.

Jiang Nuan said with a bitter face: "Of course I want them to be with me all the time, but if my stepmother insists on transferring them, what can I do? After all, she is the head of the house."

Xu Chunjun said slowly: "In my opinion, there won't be any changes in the near future."

Because Meng wanted to appease Jiang Nuan and prevent her from thinking of going back to her grandfather's house.

"Then what about the future?" Jiang Nuan asked Xu Chunjun.

"You can ask Mama Sang and the others to spread the news when you go back, saying that you have been instructed by an expert since you were young, that you beat servants, and you chose these three people to serve you by your side after being approved. You didn't believe it before, but Now that there is something about Liu'er, I know it's not a joke. After the servants heard this, I'm afraid no one will be in a hurry to go to you. Even if your stepmother wants to give you someone, you can use this as a prevarication."

Jiang Nuan couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "Sister Xu, you are really a female Zhuge! If I were half as smart as you, I wouldn't be manipulated everywhere."

"Don't praise me, it's enough to remember my words. Third, if there is any difficult matter, you remember to pretend to be sick and pretend to be unconscious. No one can do anything to you. In addition, apart from me, no matter who you say From then on, you only said good things about your stepmother, and never said a bad word."

The Meng family pretends to be a virtuous person everywhere, Jiang Nuan must also appear filial to be successful, and can't ruin his reputation.

Jiang Nuan said: "I have written down everything you said."

Then he leaned his head on Xu Chunjun's shoulder and sighed: "It would be great if you were my own sister. With you as my sister, I don't have any elders to rely on, and I won't be helpless."

Xu Chunjun smiled and said: "I fall in love with you, even if you are not a biological sister, you can be utterly devoted to each other."

Jiang Nuan hugged Xu Chunjun's waist with a smile and said, "Then let's make a vow!"

Before Xu Chunjun could open his mouth, he suddenly heard someone laughing behind him: "Jiang Dajiao, I said why you are not on the boat, but you came here to enjoy the flowers! How old are you? You are still acting like a baby!"

The little Hou Ye Zong Tianbao jumped out from behind the rocks, laughing and jokingly teasing Jiang Nuan.

Jiang Nuan was already annoyed by him before, but now he is still yelling Jiang Dajiao Jiang Dajiao, and he couldn't help being even more annoyed.

"Sister Xu, let's go!" Jiang Nuan stood up and walked forward.

Who would have thought that Zong Tianbao would keep chasing after her, shouting to himself: "Jiang Dajiao is worthy of being a big foot, he walks so fast!"

Jiang Nuan was walking in a hurry, but she stopped suddenly after hearing what he said.

The young master couldn't hold back his pace, and bumped into her arms, only felt that Jiang Nuan was fragrant and soft, which was a beauty that he had never experienced before in his life, so he couldn't help but blurted out: "You smell so good!"

Jiang Nuan hardly died of anger when she saw his eyes burning like a thief!

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Get lost!"

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to push him, and only heard a thud, Zong Tianbao was pushed and fell into the lake.

Because he wanted to tease Jiang Nuan, he sneaked over alone.

The servants who came out and the fellow swimmers were all there, and rushed over when they saw him fall into the water.

One of the sons, who was dressed in blue jacquard silk, pointed at Jiang Nuan and cursed: "You shrew! How dare you do something, you don't know how to praise things!"

Jiang Nuan scolded back unceremoniously: "Which onion do you want to scold me?! There is no grass by this lake, and you are not short of you blunt donkey!"

The man was so scolded that his face turned pale, and he was going to beat Jiang Nuan when he came up.
