After waiting for about an hour, it seemed that some people were going out in Prince Xuan's Mansion, and a carriage drove out directly, but it was impossible to determine whether Xuan Yi was among the people who were going out.
Looking at the sky, it was probably close to noon. Xian Jian'an remembered that he had other things to do. He took another look at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion and decided to give up for the time being. His sister was currently in the Refuge Garden. He listened to the Liuli girl.
, everything is fine, it’s not too late to see my sister again a day or two later.
The streets are still bustling, with horse-drawn carriages and carriages passing by, pedestrians flowing in, and various shops bustling with activity.
Suddenly, a carriage fell into Xian Jian'an's eyes. He looked familiar. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was the carriage of the Guan Mansion. Although he was not familiar with Xuan Yi, he still had some connections with the Guan Mansion, including Guan Yucheng, the second son of the Guan Mansion.
We've met each other a few times, and although we're not really familiar with each other, we can still exchange a few words with each other.
The carriage happened to stop in front of a restaurant. Xian Jianan saw at a glance that it was Guan Yucheng who got off the carriage. His heart moved, and he immediately pretended to have met by chance. It was a bit of an unexpected surprise and he went forward and said hello with a smile.
, "Second Young Master of the Guan family, do you think so?"
Guan Yucheng suddenly heard someone saying hello to him, and glanced at it carelessly. He didn't recognize it for a moment. Xian Jian'an fell ill outside, and his face was a little haggard and thin. In addition, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so he paused.
, there was a slight hesitation in his eyes, he seemed to have seen it before, but couldn't remember who it was, "Who are you?"
"This is Xian Jian'an." Xian Jian'an was not surprised that Guan Yucheng didn't recognize him. Although his sister Zi Ai had married into the Guan family and became Guan Yupeng's first wife, he couldn't come back to attend his sister's wedding because of some situations he encountered on the road, so
If you only rely on previous impressions, you will inevitably forget.
"Xian Jian'an?" Guan Yucheng was startled, then said with a smile, "Are you Sister Ziqian's brother?"
Xian Jian'an was a little surprised. He didn't know that Guan Yucheng had a crush on Xian Ziyai. He secretly wondered why Guan Yucheng didn't say that you were Xian Ziyai's brother, or that you were the elder sister-in-law's brother, but instead blurted out that you were the brother of sister Zijian?
!It seems that he is also very familiar with Ziyuan.
"Yes, I am Zi Yuan's eldest brother." Xian Jian'an suppressed the doubts in his heart and said with a smile, "I just came back from outside and was about to go to the shop to have a look. It happened that I met the second son of the Guan family on the road.
It looked familiar, so I relied on Sister Zi Ai's relationship to go up and say hello."
"Have you ever seen Sister Zijian?" Guan Yucheng smiled, wondering how Xian Zijian is doing now. Since Xian Zijian was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, he has never had the chance to see her again, "Oh, she should be his favorite.
"Princess, I'm not used to being called this title all the time."
Xian Jian'an was even more certain that Guan Yucheng was definitely more familiar with Zi Ai than Zi Ai. "Jian'an came back in a hurry, so he didn't have time to visit."
Guan Yucheng glanced at the restaurant in front of him and said with a smile: "Why don't we have lunch together?"
Xian Jian'an was thinking about this matter. Although he had no chance to meet Xuan Yi, the second son of the Guan family in front of him had always had a close relationship with Xuan Yi. Maybe he could meet Xuan Yi more easily through Guan Yucheng. "What's going on?
Yes, but I would like to invite the second young master of the Guan family to have a drink with me."
"Just call me Yucheng." Because he was facing Xian Ziqian's brother, Guan Yucheng felt a sense of intimacy for no reason. He said with a smile, "It's nothing special. There aren't so many rules. It seems that you are older than me."
Some, with the relationship between the elder sister-in-law and sister Ziyuan, we can be considered a family."
"In this case, Jian'an is welcome." Xian Jian'an also said with a smile.
The two of them went up to the second floor of the restaurant after chatting, and found a quiet seat by the window to sit down. Looking at the scenery outside, Xian Jian'an asked the waiter to serve some of the restaurant's signature dishes, and ordered another pot of good food.
It was clear that he wanted to invite Guan Yucheng to dinner, but Guan Yucheng didn't show any courtesy when he arrived. He sat down at the table and took a sip of tea first.
Xian Jian'an pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Why are you coming out alone? I usually see you and Mr. Xuan going out together."
Guan Yucheng suddenly felt unhappy on his face, and it was not directed at Xian Jian'an. He said a little lonely: "He is very busy now. After the Empress Dowager conferred sister Ziyun as the princess of her choice, she also gave him a marriage. How can he have time now?"
Look after me again."
Xian Jian'an deliberately showed a slightly surprised expression and said puzzledly: "Jian'an just had the opportunity to come back from outside yesterday to deal with some matters in Xian's shop. He didn't bother to catch up with his family yet, but he heard his father talk about it.
Zi Yuan is now the favorite princess in the palace, and I still don’t know much about her marriage to Mr. Xuan.”
Guan Yucheng did not doubt it and said: "However, I did make an appointment with him today. I have some things to ask him to help with. Although Prince Xuan is not an official in the court, his power is no less than that of anyone who is an official in Beijing."
"Then Jian'an won't disturb the business of the two of you, right?" Xian Jian'an felt slightly happy, but said calmly, "If it's inconvenient, brother Yu Cheng, just say it, and I will immediately avoid it."
"It's no big deal." Guan Yucheng was not too enthusiastic and said casually, "My eldest brother sent a letter from the border, saying that my sister-in-law, your sister Xian Ziai, said that the clothes brought from the capital were not suitable for wearing at the border and were too delicate.
, easy to damage, I would like to ask Brother Xuan to help me buy some from the Daxing Dynasty. It is probably not that the clothes here are inappropriate, but that the border gate where my brother is stationed is adjacent to the Daxing Dynasty, and there will be some commercial exchanges when there is no war.
, your sister may like those clothes, but she wants to buy some better ones. My eldest brother loves your sister very much, so I agreed. For this matter, I have to make an appointment with Brother Xuan to discuss it here. "
Xian Jian'an heard from Guan Yucheng's tone that Guan Yucheng didn't seem to like Xian Ziya very much. Why? Why was it that Zi Ai, who had always been favored, was neither cold nor indifferent in Guan Yu Cheng Yu's atmosphere, but Zi Jian, who had never been favored, was in Guan Yu Cheng's.
There's quite a bit of affection in your tone?
Suddenly, someone smiled and said: "Guan Yucheng, you came very early!"
Xian Jian'an immediately turned his attention to the person who came. He and Xuan Yi basically never had such a chance to face each other directly. Occasionally they saw each other from a distance, and they seemed to have had one or two very superficial interactions. They left alone outside Prince Xuan's Mansion.
As I walked slowly, I thought about it carefully. It seemed that there had been a chance to meet, but it seemed that there was not.
"Brother Xuan, if you have anything to ask for, naturally I have to come here in advance." Guan Yucheng stood up with a smile to greet him, and said to the waiter in the store next to him, "I have reserved this floor. Please leave all other diners, and there will be more."
Some good food and wine. Brother Xuan, please. Oh, Yu Cheng, come and introduce me. This is Xian Jian'an, the brother of the princess before she entered the palace. We happened to meet her on the road and made an appointment."
Xian Jian'an felt that Guan Yucheng was slightly annoyed when he spoke to Xuan Yi.
