Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 42: The Cousin of the Prince in the House Fighting Novel (2)

"We are going to attend a banquet at the Chu family tomorrow. How about your clothes and jewelry? If there is anything that doesn't fit, I can ask the embroiderer to alter it."

Xie sat opposite Lin Xi and first asked if there was anything wrong with her clothes and food recently. Lin Xi answered one by one, and Xie listened with a smile. She then asked about the clothes and jewelry prepared for the banquet. After getting a reply that everything was fine, she changed the subject and asked with a smile, "I heard from the people downstairs that you had a quarrel with Ting'er yesterday?"

Lin Xi's calm expression changed a little, and she said helplessly, "I just said a few words. My cousin is a seven-foot-tall man, how could he care about me?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie laughed heartily, not at all like an elder trying to mediate the conflict between the two. Instead, she fanned the flames and said, "Your cousin is just like your uncle. He always likes to put on airs and lecture people. This must be his fault. Please don't get angry with him, or you will get yourself hurt. Auntie will make the decision for you. Go to the Chu family tomorrow and punish your cousin to drive the carriage for us. How do you do that?"

"No need to do this, it's not my cousin's fault."

"How can it not be his fault? He is a seven-foot-tall man, almost twenty years old, and he still quarrels with his own sister like a child. He should be punished." Mrs. Xie did not feel guilty at all for betraying her own son. She made the final decision. Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Xi stopped persuading her and lowered her head and said okay.

Seeing her drooping eyebrows, Xie couldn't help but think of her sister who died young. Her heart softened a little, and she waved her hand to let her sit next to her. She touched her fluffy head and said, "Being at your aunt's house is like being at home. If you are wronged, you must tell me."

Lin Xi raised her head after hearing her words, her eyes slightly reddened, "Aunt is so good to Axi, Axi has never suffered any grievances in the mansion."

"That's good. I know you have a strong personality. A man as incompetent as Wang Zhuo is not a good match. We women should find a good family in our lifetime. The Chu family has a good reputation in Jiankang. Madam Chu is kind. I also sent people to secretly investigate Chu Erlang. He is a gentle and polite child. Although he is one year younger than you, he is very capable."

"He could have entered the court directly with the protection of Lord Chu, but he won the emperor's favor with his talent and was able to serve him. He is also clean and has no one around him except a maid who has served him since childhood. He is indeed a rare good man. Madam Chu told me that he took the initiative to ask for this marriage. I think he is interested in you as well. If you two can really get together, with your husband's love, your mother-in-law's kindness, and your life-saving grace to Miss Chu, you will surely live a smooth life. I can also report to your mother in the underworld after a hundred years."

Xie's words were from the bottom of her heart. She had considered every aspect for Lin Xi. Even Lin Xi was somewhat touched. Unfortunately, she was not the original owner, so she could only apologize to Xie in her heart, "The cake you painted was really fragrant and sweet, but unfortunately, I only wanted your cabbage."

On the second day, Lin Xi was naturally pulled out of the dream by Xue Yun and others early, and was put on makeup, dressed and put on a crown.

Today, Lin Xi wore a silver-pink pearl-embellished jade shirt, a light red smoke-silk cloud skirt, and had her hair done in a fairy bun. She looked graceful and gorgeous, and with her heavily painted face, she was the kind of person who could be spotted at a glance even in the most crowded crowd.

When they went out, they saw a familiar carriage. Beside the carriage were the figures of Lan Xue and Lan Zhi. They both wore the same goose yellow short-sleeved shirt and snow blue skirt with butterflies and flowers. Although they were dressed pretty and fresh, it was obvious that Yu had told them that Lin Xi was the protagonist today and asked them not to steal the spotlight.

When the two saw Lin Xi, they naturally praised her again. Lin Xi smiled and talked to them for a while. Then Xie came late, followed by He Lanting, who looked surprised.

He Lanting saw Lin Xi, who was dressed exceptionally well, and his face darkened as he turned away in anger. That day, Lin Xi had ridiculed him sarcastically, and he thought that Lin Xi was dissatisfied with the marriage, but today she was dressed so gorgeously, wanting to attract everyone's attention.

Seeing He Lanting like this, Xie slapped him in dismay and said, "Go and apologize to your cousin. You are already an adult, but you still act like a child. Aren't you ashamed?"

He Lanting had no choice but to walk to Lin Xi with a dark face and apologized reluctantly. He thought Lin Xi would take the opportunity to be sarcastic again, but she just smiled and bowed to him, "I have forgotten what happened that day, please don't take it to heart, cousin."

He Lanting thought that Lin Xi was going to say a few more words to him, but she acted as if she didn't care, which made him hit a soft nail. It also made him look even more petty, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

Lan Zhi saw that the atmosphere between the two was getting worse, so she stepped out to smooth things over, "It's getting late, cousin, let's get in the car first."

Lin Xi glanced at the angry He Lanting, turned around and got on the carriage. He Lanting had just promised Xie that he would drive the carriage for Lin Xi and the others himself, and now he was unwilling to be the one who went back on his word, so he snorted coldly and jumped onto the shaft.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Yu stood together and witnessed the whole process. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Mrs. Xie sighed and said, "This Ting brother usually looks steady, but who would have thought that he would be like a firecracker when he met his cousin."

Yu patted her hands and comforted her: "You are still children."

Mrs. Xie shook her head and said speechlessly, "Which family's child is over seven feet tall, with broad shoulders and long legs?"

Yu didn't expect her to say this. She couldn't help but chuckled and quickly covered her mouth with her handkerchief. "You are already old enough to be a grandmother. You are talking nonsense. Don't stand here. The Chu family is not close. Let's not miss the time." The six arts of a gentleman are rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. As a noble son, He Lanting can drive, and his skills are very good. The horse is very obedient under his hand, so the whole journey was very smooth.

Unlike the last time he went to Princess Hexin's mansion, the carriage was very quiet this time, with only one or two whispered words from the three people in the carriage coming from time to time. Although Helan Ting's martial arts were not very powerful, he was good at identifying positions by sound. Therefore, although he did not listen deliberately, he could occasionally hear a few scattered words such as "Chu Erlang", "Satisfied", "Gentle and Handsome", etc. Although he could not tell who said them, it did not prevent him from adding a bit of inexplicable annoyance to his already depressed mood.

"He really is a person who says one thing and thinks another." He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
