Chapter 204: Invite All Cats and Dogs
Xiao Baozhu immediately called over Grandma Gao and told her in a informative manner that Lu Zhiran was going hunting. Grandma Gao naturally couldn't say much.
It was a rare opportunity to go out and relax, so Lu Zhiran was naturally happy and her mood was also a little cheerful.
She was a little worried about Xiao Baozhu's marriage, but she had no right to interfere or decide, so there was no point in saying more.
Xiao Baozhu is an optimist. Even though she is worried about her marriage, she soon becomes happy again.
There will always be a way out. If she really doesn't like her cousin, the worst that can happen is that she can ask her father for help, and her father may even make the decision for her.
If she really wants to get married, then she can do it with a pinch of her nose. Anyway, given her status, no one in the Sun family would dare to wrong her.
The three of them had a happy meal together until night fell, when the two of them left.
The hunting was in three days. During these three days, Lu Zhiran continued to learn the rules step by step. The days were inevitably boring, but she was a patient person and was neither arrogant nor impatient.
She called Cui Fu, Dan Yan and Shuang Hua to her side, gave each of them five taels of silver, and asked them to prepare a set of riding clothes.
Cui Fu and Dan Yan both accepted it happily. Shuang Hua wanted to refuse it at first, but finally swallowed her words back.
It’s a reward from the master, so just keep it.
Concubine Rou also sent two sets of riding clothes to Lu Zhiran.
One set is purple and the other is red, both are made of high-quality brocade and are very finely crafted.
Lu Zhiran had no intention of buying more riding gear because she already had some, and since she was not good at riding or shooting, she would have no use for more riding gear.
But Concubine Rou's attitude made her feel valued and her heart felt warm.
In a blink of an eye, the day of hunting arrived, and Lu Zhiran chose the purple riding suit.
The finest brocade was embellished with silvery cloud patterns, which shimmered in the sunlight, resembling a flowing galaxy. A matching belt cinched her waist, accentuating her slender figure. Her breeches were sharp and sharp, paired with a pair of black leather boots, giving her a dashing and heroic presence.
The maids' eyes lit up when they saw her dressed like this.
When Xiao Baozhu and Ye Hanyi saw this, their reactions were exactly the same.
Xiao Baozhu looked at her riding uniform with envy, "Your riding uniform looks really good."
Ye Hanyi said, "It's not the clothes that are beautiful, it's the person. If this dress were worn on you, the effect would be very different."
Xiao Baozhu: ...
"Shut up."
She is indeed the seventh prince’s cousin, and she can’t speak just like him.
Ye Hanyi looked innocent and said, "I just told the truth."
Can't people even tell the truth?
Lu Zhiran looked at them with amusement and quickly tried to smooth things over.
Originally, they were just bickering normally, and it was quickly over.
The weather was very good today, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze. When we arrived, we saw green lawns and rolling mountains, and the tip of our noses was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, which made everyone feel much better.
The Sun family has arrived.
Sun Jingxuan was born with a refined and handsome appearance, and had a graceful demeanor. He wore a white brocade robe with a piece of jade hanging around his waist. His every move was calm and graceful, showing the style of a noble family.
There were many young men and women beside him, all of them dressed up beautifully, only Xiao Baozhu and the other two were wearing formal riding clothes.
Aren't they here to hunt? Why are they all dressed like they're in a beauty pageant?
Sun Jingxuan stepped forward with a smile, "Baozhu, you're here? These two must be the Princess of Pingle County and Miss Ye, right? I've heard a lot about you."
Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi nodded slightly at him.
Sun Ruolan, the eldest daughter of the Sun family, greeted them gracefully and introduced everyone to them one by one.
The young lady from this family, the young master from that family, Ye Hanyi's eyes were blank, obviously he was face-blind.
Xiao Baozhu looked at one of them, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
"Why are you here too?"
The man had a handsome face and eyebrows, and was inconspicuous among a group of handsome men and beautiful women. However, his eyes were always on Xiao Baozhu, without a single mistake.
"Princess, don't you welcome Jiang?"
His name is Jiang Zelin, and he is Jiang Nansheng's younger brother.
Jiang Nansheng was born out of wedlock. Originally, she and her aunt had a very difficult life in the mansion. However, because she showed extraordinary intelligence at a young age, the situation of the "mother and son" improved.
Xiao Baozhu said bluntly, "You're not welcome. Cousin, why did you invite all sorts of people?"
These words made Jiang Zelin's face freeze for a moment.
Sun Jingxuan looked at Xiao Baozhu disapprovingly, "Baozhu, Mr. Jiang is a guest today, how can you be so rude?"
Xiao Baozhu said coldly, "Don't you know that I have a grudge against him? You deliberately called him here. Are you trying to annoy someone?"
Her impolite attitude made Sun Jingxuan feel a little embarrassed.
Xiao Baozhu is not the kind of person who speaks ill of others for no reason. She and Jiang Zelin had a grudge for a long time.
When he was young, Jiang Zelin played with them and they even had a good relationship.
Who would have thought that he had evil intentions at such a young age, secretly poisoning Jiang Nansheng's snacks just to replace her and enter the palace as a companion.
But Jiang Nansheng didn't fall for it, but the greedy Xiao Baozhu was poisoned and suffered a lot.
In the end, the matter was only traced back to Jiang Zelin's servant. At that time, Xiao Baozhu naively thought that the matter really had nothing to do with him. After all, they were all so young, how could they have bad intentions?
Later, he used many sinister tricks, all aimed at Jiang Nansheng's life. Only then did Xiao Baozhu realize that bad people come regardless of age, and some people are born bad.
Sun Jingxuan adjusted his expression and spoke to make peace, "That was all when we were little, and it was just a misunderstanding. Baozhu, you are a magnanimous person, so don't be so petty. For my sake, how about you two shake hands and make peace today?"
Sun Ruolan also tried to smooth things over, "Yes, we are all friends. Even if there were any unpleasantness in the past, we shouldn't take it too seriously."
After hearing this, Xiao Baozhu was so angry that her face turned green.
Otherwise, why would she dislike the Sun family so much? It would be strange for her to like such a pair of cousins.
They are all models of kindness, generosity, and good manners, while I am the unreasonable, petty and willful princess.
Xiao Baozhu sneered, "I'm sorry, I'm just such a petty person. If someone offends me, I will hold a grudge for the rest of my life!"
After saying that, she glared at Jiang Zelin again and said, "Tell him to stay away from me."
After saying that, he took Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi and turned away.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a deadly awkwardness.
Sun Jingxuan's face looked ugly, and a hint of gloom flashed in Jiang Zelin's eyes.
Why can Jiang Nansheng, a bastard, catch her eye, while she can't even get her attention?
Sun Jingxuan forced a twitch of his lips and said, "Brother Jiang, don't take it to heart. Baozhu is just a little spoiled."
Jiang Zelin's eyes were dark and unclear, and he didn't speak for a while.
Sun Ruolan frowned slightly. "Baozhu probably holds such a prejudice against Young Master Jiang because of her relationship with the young divine doctor Jiang. Everyone in the capital knows that she has a close relationship with the young divine doctor Jiang."
