Chapter 258 Senior Brother (1)

At the same time Fang Jian walked out of the palace gate, a group of men and horses with the "Changfeng Bodyguard Bureau" dart flags walked out of the gate of the capital in a mighty manner.

The leading bodyguard knew the little official guarding the city gate very well, he stuffed a piece of broken silver over, gave a bag of earthen ritual instruments brought from other places, and said a few words, the little official smiled all over his face and let him go easily.

Walking to the most prosperous street in the capital, a carriage in the procession stopped by the side of the road.

A tall and handsome man jumped out of the car, found the lead bodyguard, saluted with fists cupped, smiled and said a few polite words, and watched the bodyguards go away.

"Brother, where are we staying tonight?"

A young man's face appeared in the car window. He has delicate features and excellent eyes, but if you look closely, you can see that he is thin and weak.

The handsome man brushed off his robe and feet, and there was an indescribable romantic meaning in his demeanor: "Of course I want to live in a good place. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place of romance in the world, you must not treat yourself badly. Ah Mao, let's go, brother will take you there." Eat and drink well, and see and see."

The young man was looking forward to it, but he was still concerned about Sister A: "When are we going to find Sister A? I miss her so much. She doesn't know we're here, maybe she's always worried."

"It's okay, your sister is so smart, she must have guessed that we are coming to the capital, maybe the place to eat and live has been prepared for us. It's already late today, let's take care of ourselves first, and I will take you to find it in the morning tomorrow." she."

The handsome man smiled, with a slight dimple on his right cheek, he casually picked a half-bloomed lotus from the flower girl's bucket by the roadside, and threw a piece of silver over there: "You don't need to look for it."

The girl was surprised and delighted, she regarded him as a heavenly man, blushed and said: "I gave it to you, but it's just a flower."

The beautiful boy didn't accept the broken silver she handed over, and said seriously: "No, it's not easy for a girl to earn money, so how can I take advantage of you? If you really feel sorry, tell me Which inn is the best."

The girl was so ashamed and embarrassed: "Xiankeju is the best."

Ah Mao coughed lowly: "Brother, restrain yourself."

Only then did the beautiful man put away his smile, and motioned for the carriage to drive to the busiest street.

These two people are exactly He Maoyi and Zhong Mao, whom Chonghua and Zhong Weiwei couldn't find.

At night, the side hall of Zhaoren Palace is brightly lit.

Chonghua set up a family banquet here to welcome the mother and daughter of the Zhong family.

Empress Dowager Wei did not appear, and the concubines in the palaces that Zhong Xinran thought were missing, only Zhong Weiwei and Chonghua were waiting for them.

Zhong Weiwei took off her daytime female official gown, and changed into a light blue palace dress. The material of the dress was unknown, and it shone faintly under the light, as if she was sitting in the glow of stars.

Her hair was tied up simply, but on her forehead was a fingertip-sized raindrop-shaped sapphire. She applied a thin layer of makeup and powder, revealing a somewhat charming look that she didn't usually have.

It caused Chonghua to glance over and over again, with a perfunctory look wishing the banquet would end sooner.

Zhong Xinran looked at the plain light blue dress on her body, and regretted it to death.

If she had known it was such a simple reception, she should have worn the spring silk dress that Zhong Weiwei gave her.

Now not only did she clash with Zhong Weiwei, but she was also set off to make herself very dull, shabby and mean-spirited.

Zhong Weiwei didn't make extra eye contact with Chonghua, she smiled and stood up to greet Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Xinran.

His eyes swept over Zhong Xinran, and he said in surprise: "Why doesn't Senior Sister wear that spring water silk dress? It was specially found for you, I thought you would like it."

Zhong Xinran smiled lightly, pretending to be indifferent and said, "They are all from my own family, so you can wear whatever you want."

Mrs. Zhong felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "We thought there would be a lot of people, but Ah Ran saw that the clothes were too luxurious, and she was afraid of causing trouble for His Majesty and you, so she didn't wear them."

Zhong Xinran pretended to stop her: "Aniang, don't say a few words."

Mrs. Zhong kept her mouth shut unwillingly, and after saluting to Chonghua, she was led to sit by Chonghua's left hand.

Chonghua said: "Because I thought it was my own people, I didn't call those people over. If Mistress likes to be lively, then ask them to come over for company."

When Mrs. Zhong heard the phrase "one of my own", she was immediately elated, and besides, she didn't dare to let Chonghua call out those concubines.

Hastily said: "Your Majesty has killed the old man, it's good like this, it's good like this. Let's sit and gossip, it's comfortable."

Chonghua smiled, raised his glass and toasted, offering sacrifices to Zhong Nanjiang first, and then thanking Mrs. Zhong: "Over the years, I have been taken care of by my wife, and I have never thanked you seriously."

Mrs. Zhong was overjoyed, she was careful to make fun of it, and only picked up topics that everyone liked, and most of the things she talked about were of course the old things between Zhong Weiwei and Chonghua in the past.

Zhong Weiwei leaned on the desks, quietly looking at Chonghua, Mrs. Zhong, and Zhong Xinran.

Zhong Xinran noticed her silence, and raised his glass affectionately to respect her: "A Wei, my sister wishes you and Your Majesty a happy life together."

Zhong Weiwei smiled and drank the wine in the glass, and also respected Zhong Xinran: "I wish my senior sister to meet her lover soon and be happy."

Zhong Xinran's eyelids twitched. Speaking of which, she is not young anymore, these years have been wasted for nothing.

Now that there is such a marriage contract in her body, what's the point of meeting her lover soon?Shouldn't her lover be Zhonghua?

Zhong Weiwei is really implying that she should quickly find someone to marry!He hated secretly in his heart, but did not reveal anything on his face: "I accept Awei's auspicious words."

Because he didn't want to entangle with Zhong Weiwei on this topic anymore, as far as Gu Youyou was concerned, he said, "So again?"

Didn't it mean that he has a special status and has been hiding it all the time so that no one else will know about it?

Zhong Weiwei didn't expect Zhong Xinran to know Youyou, and even called him by his nickname, not the eldest son of the emperor.

Smiling, she cast a sideways glance at Chonghua, but seeing him smiling at her, she lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Senior sister, do you want to see You?"

Zhong Xinran quickly waved his hands, showing great panic: "I just think, uh, I should pay my respects to the eldest son of the emperor..."

She looked at Chonghua at a loss, as if she didn't know what to say so as not to make Zhong Weiwei angry.

Zhong Huacha felt that Zhong Weiwei was unhappy, so he said, "I went to bed early again." Although he rounded things up, he didn't say when to see Zhong Xinran again.

The atmosphere suddenly became dull again, Zhong Xinran gave Mrs. Zhong a wink.

Mrs. Zhong got up and saluted Chonghua: "It's getting late, and the women have to go out of the palace, so please bid farewell to Your Majesty."

Chonghua was very surprised: "Didn't your mother arrange for you to live in Tianji Pavilion? You two women don't have any relatives or old friends in Beijing. Where can you go?"

Mrs. Zhong said awkwardly: "Our luggage and the servants who came with us are all in Xiankeju. It's a good place, everything is convenient and safe."
