Hua Jin quickly followed the car curtain she raised and looked out. When she saw Xie Xun, who was made of jade and gold, her cheeks turned slightly red and she couldn't help but call out: "Third cousin."

Xie Xun heard the sound and looked over. When he saw the two of them, he raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and walked towards them.

"Third cousin is here!" Hua Rong pulled Hua Jin and ran out of the carriage. After hurriedly greeting him, she pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Third cousin, when you came to Jincheng County, why didn't you go back to Washington to see us... .”

"Is something wrong?" Xie Xun looked indifferent.

Princess Guangling always wanted to betroth Hua Jin to him.

He never agreed.

First of all, Hua Jin is his cousin. As a person who has received modern knowledge, it is impossible for him to mess up this ethics.

Secondly, to him, she was no different from the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital.

As for Hua Jin treating him...

He can't control it.

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?" Hua Rong became more and more dissatisfied.

Xie Xun crossed the two of them and said, "Go back if you have nothing to do. I'm busy and have no time to care about you."

"Third cousin," Hua Jin held Hua Rong's hand tightly and stopped her from saying anything harmful, then said with a gentle smile, "it was the third cousin that my grandmother asked us to invite over. Grandma said that she missed her third cousin. Let me. Third cousin, when he has time, he will go back to Washington."

Xie Xun kept walking, "Then tell grandma and I'll talk about it when I have time."

"Is Third Cousin going to the ranch?" Hua Jin followed him unwillingly, "In recent years, I have been taking care of the accounting office in Washington. If Third Cousin wants to check the accounts, I may be able to help him." two."

Xie Xun stopped and looked back at her.

Along the way, although he and Chen Anning were rushing through the procedures, they were not careless about the ranch's account books.

The account books of Jincheng County's ranch... Because they had to buy time for Xu Zan and Wen Baolin, most of the account books had not yet had time to look through.

At the moment, Chen Anning has to cooperate with the ladies of the Prefect's Mansion to delay.

All those account books will undoubtedly fall on him.

He didn't mind watching slowly.

If someone is willing to help, why not?

Hua Jin noticed his looseness and added hurriedly: "I'll help my third cousin check the accounts earlier so that my third cousin can go to Washington to visit my grandmother earlier."

"That makes sense." Xie Xun nodded, "Then let's go."

Lu Deqiu, who was about to follow him to the ranch, took a look at Xie Xun and then at the pink-faced Hua Jin, and stopped instantly.

Sending them away with a smile, Lu Deqiu immediately waved to his entourage behind him and whispered: "Quickly tell Miss Chen that the two young ladies from the Hua family are following Mr. Xie to the ranch."

When the entourage was about to leave, he called him back, "By the way, I want to tell Miss Chen Er that Miss Hua has a crush on Mr. Xie."

After the entourage goes.

Lu Deqiu rubbed his hands and laughed softly: "The drama of two women competing for one husband is really timeless. I just don't know if the disciple of the miracle doctor can compete with his biological cousin."

During his many calculations.

In the restaurant.

After sitting down in the box next to the window on the second floor, Lu Yuer went to the window, lifted the bamboo curtain and looked at the carriage of Hua Jin and Hua Rong as they drove away. She asked Lu Yueyun in a low voice, who was also leaning over: "Do you want to send someone to follow them?" ah?"

Lu Yueyun asked in confusion: "What are you doing with them?"

Lu Yuer looked back at Chen Anning and continued in a low voice: "The two of them came to invite Mr. Xie to Washington, but did not invite Miss Chen Er. It doesn't look right."

Lu Yueyun tilted her head and thought for a moment, "You mean, they want to go behind Miss Chen Er's back and ask Sir to deal with us?"

"What a pimple!" Lu Yue'er rolled her eyes at her, sat down at the table, thought about it, and reminded Chen Anning, "Second Miss Chen, you'd better be careful. Hua Jin and Hua Rong know that the emperor has given you I have been married to Mr. Xie, but I only invited Mr. Xie to Washington, but not you. The reason behind it is definitely not simple."

Chen Anning took advantage of the situation and asked, "What does this Hua family do?"

"The Hua family, they didn't do anything," Lu Jingyun replied disapprovingly, "They are just guarding Jincheng Pass in Jincheng County."

Jinchengguan?

This is a very important juncture in history.

The Hua family seems to be very popular with the emperor.

After Chen Anning casually asked a few more questions about the Hua family, she forgot about Hua Jin and Hua Rong.

They are not interested in what purpose Hua Jin and Hua Rong have.

Lu Yuer wanted to remind her a few more words, but seeing her like this, he had no choice but to shut up.

Had a meal.

Following Mrs. Lu's instructions, several Miss Lu took Chen Anning to visit various shops.

When I visited a jewelry store, the entourage sent by Lu Deqiu arrived.

The attendant called Lu Wenjun aside and relayed Lu Deqiu's words to her verbatim.

After Lu Wenjun listened, he immediately relayed it word for word to Chen Anning.

"You know they have bad intentions!" Lu Jingyun scolded, "They thought they could snatch Mr. Xie away by following him to the ranch? They didn't even think about it. You and Mr. Can you grab it if you want?"

Lu Yueyun said in hindsight: "It turns out that you just said that it was wrong that they only invited Mr. Xie and not Miss Chen Er. You meant that they wanted to take Mr. Xie away. In this way, Hua Jin has not been engaged because of her Want to marry..."

Lu Yuer quickly covered her mouth and whispered: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute!"

Lu Yueyun whined: "What did I say wrong?"

Lu Yuer continued to cover her mouth, and after warning her not to speak nonsense, she said to Chen Anning: "Second Miss Chen, don't listen to her nonsense, no matter whether the person Hua Jin wants to marry is Mr. Xie or not, she is just wishful thinking! "

Hua Jin wants to marry Xie Xun?

Isn't she Xie Xun's cousin?

Oh, I forgot, this is the ancient time where cousins ​​were born as a couple.

Tsk.

Chen Anning resisted the urge to go see the fun immediately. She pointed coldly at the trays of ornaments that the shopkeeper took out and said softly: "Wrap them up, I want them all."

"It's all your fault!" After Lu Yuer'er glared at Lu Yueyun, he not only rushed to pay the money, but also bought two more trays.

Looking at the stacks of jewelry boxes in front of her, Chen Anning couldn't help but glance at Lu Yue and then at the other Miss Lu. Looking at their cautious looks, they curled their lips and said silently: What a wonderful misunderstanding!

"Let's go, there are a few jewelry shops nearby, let's go shopping too." After asking the maid to move all the jewelry boxes to the carriage, Lu Yue'er took her hand and pulled her to the next shop.

In this way, amid their inexplicable misunderstanding, Chen Anning kept buying and buying, and only stopped after buying several carriages that couldn't fit in them.

"Do you want to call two more carriages?" Lu Jingyun asked, still unfinished.

"Tomorrow." Lu Wenjun said, "It's too late today. Even if we go shopping, we won't be able to go shopping for long. We'd better find a restaurant to eat first, and go back as soon as possible after eating."

Lu Jingyun looked at Chen Anning to listen to her opinion.

Lu Wenjun also looked at Chen Anning.

Chen Anning looked at the carts full of boxes and stopped and said, "Let's go tomorrow, I'm a little tired."

"Okay, then tomorrow!" Lu Jingyun said immediately.

It’s still a restaurant at noon.

During the meal, Chen Anning, who had not tested their reality since the morning, pretended to be careful and asked: "Did you spend a lot of money today?"

"It's not much," Lu Jingyun said bluntly, "I spent less than a thousand taels."

"I spent the most," Lu Yueyun said, "but it was less than three thousand taels."

Lu Jingyun counted on her fingers, "The total adds up to just over six thousand taels, which is not too much."

"Only more than six thousand taels?" Chen Anning pretended to be speechless.

"Is more than six thousand taels a lot?" Lu Jingyun looked at Lu Yueyun twice and said, "When Li Linghui's family held a banquet two months ago, we spent more than 30,000 taels on clothes and jewelry."

Chen Anning pretended to be envious and said: "I have never spent so much money. When I was with my grandfather and grandmother, I was self-sufficient in food and clothing. Later when I came to the capital, the most money I saw was after treating the eldest princess's head disease. , the one hundred taels she gave me. I still keep the one hundred taels, but I have never used them."

"What can one hundred taels do?" Lu Yueyun was incredulous. "As long as I can remember, I have never been short of five hundred taels of silver."

Chen Anning clenched her chopsticks, "You spend money like this, and your father and mother don't care about you? Aren't they unhappy too?"

Lu Yueyun asked curiously: "Why are they unhappy?"

Chen Anning was silent, looking slightly embarrassed.

Lu Yuer quickly smoothed things over and said, "It doesn't matter. While Miss Chen Er is in Jincheng County, we can come shopping every day. If Miss Chen Er wants to buy anything, you can buy it and we will pay for it."

Lu Jingyun nodded repeatedly.

Chen Anning glanced at Lu Wenjun, who had been silent, for fear of arousing her suspicion, so he did not continue to test and said: "You guys are so kind to me."

After dinner, we returned to the prefect's mansion.

Xie Xun has not returned from the ranch.
