In the blink of an eye, it was noon, Lingting ordered someone to clear a table of food, and several people had lunch together happily.
Chu Qing was going to Lanlingzhai in the evening and said goodbye. Chu Qi looked reluctant: "It's still early in the morning and it's late in the morning. Let's sit down for a while. The children are tired from playing and just take a rest here."
The three little ones are addicted to sweets and toys. They don't seem to be distressed at all, but they obviously don't want to leave.
Seeing this, Chu Qingwan said: "Then you and your great-grandfather stay here with your second uncle, and I will pick you up later, okay?"
Three breast dumplings said yes.
Chu Qingwan warned: "Second uncle is not healed from his injury, so don't make trouble with him. Grandpa will have a rest later. You guys just listen to Sister Lingting, remember?"
Tuantuan spoke as a representative: "Remember, mother, be careful all the way to Lanlingzhai."
Chu Qingwan grabbed them and kissed them one by one before leaving with the book that Lingting took.
The carriage was driving leisurely on the street. When it suddenly stopped, Chu Qingwan hit the wall of the carriage, opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
The coachman said: "Miss, this man blocked our way."
Chu Qingwan looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a man standing in front of the coachman, but he said to her: "I dare to disturb the girl's driving, but I hope the girl will not care."
Chu Qingwan looked cold: "Who are you? Why did you stop the car?"
The man said: "I am a servant of Shoukanghou Mansion. My Lord Hou and his wife have invited me."
Mo Jingyu’s mother? What do you want her to do?
Chu Qingwan frowned slightly: "Mrs. Marquis and I have never met each other before, so I don't dare to climb high. I would like to ask my brother to make it easier for me and get out of the way."
The man didn't move at all: "Madam, I told you that there are a few thin mats in the house, so please be sure to appreciate them, girl."
With this attitude, it was clear that he had to go.
Chu Qingwan quickly weighed the power of Shoukang Hou Mansion and compromised: "In that case, please ask me to lead the way."
The carriage turned a corner and arrived at Shoukanghou Mansion two-quarters of an hour later.
The man led her all the way through the door. After passing the front hall, the maid led the way. After walking for a long time, he stopped at the pavilion in the center of the lake: "Elder Princess, Miss Chu is here."
Chu Qingwan bowed and said: "Chu Qingwan, a commoner daughter, comes to see the eldest princess."
Jin'an spared her the courtesy: "Raise your head and let me have a look."
Chu Qingwan raised his head as instructed, lowering his eyes and not looking at her, looking very submissive.
Jin'an looked closely at her features, and her eyes were filled with surprise: "With such beauty, it's no wonder that Yu'er loves her so much."
Chu Qingwan said warmly: "The eldest princess is so complimentary."
Jin'an fluttered his sleeves: "Sit down."
Chu Qingwan thanked him and sat down on the chair. He glanced at the table in front of him and saw that there were only a few plates of snacks and tea. He thought to himself: It is indeed a thin mat, thin enough.
Jin'an asked her to drink tea and have snacks. She took a sip and said proactively: "The daughter of the people is humble and despised. I have never been lucky enough to see the eldest princess's face. I wonder why the eldest princess called the daughter of the people here?"
He behaves elegantly and speaks appropriately, and he is not a common man who cannot stand on the stage.
Jin'an came to this conclusion from her words and deeds, and she was not acting like a domineering princess.
She also took a sip of tea and said casually: "I heard that a wonderful person came to Yu'er's house. I'm just curious. Miss Chu, don't be cautious."
Chu Qingwan was really informal. After all, all the high-ranking people she had seen were gone.
Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, Jin'an's eyes softened a bit: "Where is Miss Chu from? Kyoto? Who are the people in her family?"
Chu Qingwan frowned slightly, feeling strange.
Why are the eldest princess’s questions so misunderstood?
Her heart moved slightly and she replied: "I am from Kyoto, and I have a grandpa at home."
She wasn't sure what the other party meant, so she deliberately didn't say "three little ones".
Jin'an nodded and said calmly: "Speaking of which, I also know someone who has the same name as Miss Chu."
