Chapter 144 How to Protect
"Go, of course, Honggu, do you want to accompany me?" Tomorrow, the mistresses and noble daughters of all the prefectures in the capital will go to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to attend the banquet. How can she be the wife of a great general? There are probably many people He was waiting for her to appear. If she didn't go, wouldn't it spoil the interest of those people.

At this time, Hong Gu replied: "Madam already has Lingqin and Feiyue by her side, they are more suitable to stay with Madam than slaves, slaves will not follow tomorrow!"

A gleam flashed in Honggu's eyes, she would go out to attend to her own business tomorrow, although so many years had passed, but she kept those grudges in mind all the time, never daring to forget even a single bit!
Lin Shuran didn't notice Honggu's abnormality, and just replied with a smile: "It's okay, Honggu has worked hard for you during this time, so you can rest well in the residence."

On the second day, Lin Shuran wore a simple and elegant ink-and-green shirt and green bamboo dark-patterned skirt, with nobile hairpins and pearls as accessories on her head, making her look elegant and dignified without losing her noble air.

Lingqin and Feiyue were dressed as first-class maidservants in Gaomen, followed Lin Shuran from left to right and left the door.

"Where are you going, mother is so well dressed today?" Xu Mingxuan asked Xu Minghao who was beside him curiously as he watched Lin Shuran get into the carriage with the two maids at the gate.

"I heard that the Dingyuanhou's mansion invited my mother to a banquet. I don't think it's a good banquet. My mother will definitely be bullied there." Xu Minghao pouted and his eyes moved around. Xu Junze is not in the mansion now, he Lin Shuran has to be protected from being bullied by outsiders.

Hearing that Lin Shuran was going to be bullied, Xu Mingxuan became emotional and said, "Seventh Brother, we can't let people bully Mother, those people outside are too bad, but how can we protect Mother?!"

"That's not easy. We secretly followed our mother into the Dingyuan Hou's mansion. We saw whoever bullied my mother and recorded that person. Didn't my mother say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years? I will record all these people in their records." In the book, sooner or later, I will ask them to settle this account severely." Xu Minghao is not as impulsive as before, he understands that when the strength of the enemy and us is very different, he must learn to wait patiently, work hard to strengthen himself, and then when the strength surpasses the opponent, he will Fight back quickly.

"Seventh brother, you are so smart, I will help you remember it together, and then we will ask them to settle the account together!" Xu Mingxuan looked at Xu Minghao with admiration, Seventh brother was smarter than him and had a way, but then he became distressed again, "But how do we enter Dingyuanhou's Mansion? Eldest brother and second elder brother will definitely not let us go if they find out."

Xu Minghao's face also collapsed, yes, how could they sneak into Dingyuanhou's mansion?At this moment, another person walked in at the gate of the Xu family, and greeted them very warmly.

"Xu Xiaoqi, Xu Xiaoba, what are you two muttering about? Are you trying to stir up trouble again? Be careful, I'll tell Aunt Xu!" The person who came was Zhao Pei, the young prince of Qing Palace. When I was in the farm in the southern suburbs, I got along very well with the children of the Xu family, and my words were like a family.

"My lord, why are you here at my house? If you came to see my mother, you might be one step too late. She just went to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to attend a banquet!" Xu Minghao first saluted the little lord Zhao Pei politely, seeing Xu Minghao like this Speaking of the rules, Zhao Pei was still a little uncomfortable for a while. When he was in the farm, this kid played tricks on him a lot.

Xu Mingxuan also hurriedly imitated Xu Minghao's salute to the little prince Zhao Pei. Lin Shuran told them that courtesy cannot be broken, and only by showing respect to others can they be respected by the other party. This is the etiquette and virtue that a gentleman should have.

The little prince Zhao Pei looked at the appearance of the two young adults and saluted him, coughed lightly, stood up straighter, and said pretendingly: "You two virtuous brothers don't need to be too polite, my little prince is here today. Visiting your fourth brother, since Aunt Xu is not here, I will go to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion to see her later, and then I will say hello to her."

Xu Minghao's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked him with a smile: "Little prince, are you going to Dingyuanhou's mansion later?"

The little prince Zhao Pei nodded, he is the little prince of Qing Palace, even if the Dingyuan Hou Mansion and the Qing Palace were not married, their palace still received an invitation from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, his parents didn’t want to go, his sister didn’t want to. Go, so he's the only one out there.

At this time, Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan secretly exchanged glances, and then approached the little prince Zhao Pei with a "hey hey" smile, which shocked Zhao Pei. There was absolutely nothing good about them laughing like this, and they took a nervous step back and said: "What do you two want to do?"

"Little Prince, we also want to follow you to the Dingyuanhou's Mansion. You can take the two of us there together. I haven't had a chance to see what the Dingyuanhou's Mansion is like. It is said that it is much bigger than our Great General's Mansion!" Xu Minghao looked at Zhao Pei flatteringly and said.

"Yes, I also want to see what the Dingyuanhou's Mansion looks like. Is it really big?" Xu Mingxuan also approached Zhao Pei, looking at him pitifully with big eyes.

The little prince Zhao Pei was obviously relieved, thinking that the two of them were trying to play tricks on him again, but he wanted to follow along to join in the fun. He smiled boldly and replied: "Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is the largest mansion in the capital except the imperial palace. , don’t say it’s bigger than your Great General’s Mansion, even our Qing Palace is not as good as it, okay, follow me to see it today.”

"That's great, little prince, you are so forthright and loyal!" Xu Minghao gave Zhao Pei a thumbs up and praised him, then he and Xu Mingxuan took his arm and were about to go out.

Zhao Pei hurriedly said, "I haven't visited your fourth brother yet. Has he recovered from the injury he suffered in the Imperial College?"

"Okay, okay, my fourth brother is well, let's go to the banquet at the Dingyuan Hou's Mansion first, and see my fourth brother later, go, go, it's too late!" Xu Minghao pulled hard Zhao Pei went out.

Zhao Pei was confused, looked at Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan for no reason, and asked, "Why is it too late?"

Isn't it just to attend the banquet in the Hou's Mansion, he is the little prince, no one can say anything if he goes late, besides, it's still early!What are the two of them in a hurry for!

"Visiting Dingyuan Hou's Mansion, we're going late, people will start the banquet, and the guests will leave after dinner, how can we have time to wander around in the Hou's Mansion!" Xu Minghao explained indiscriminately.

Zhao Pei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Where do you two think Dingyuanhou's Mansion is, the vegetable market? Not everyone can go shopping at will. If the master's house doesn't allow shopping, we can't go either!"

"Oh, I know, I know, let's go!" Xu Minghao and Xu Mingxuan directly pulled Zhao Pei out of the gate, lest they would be late and they would not know who bullied Lin Shuran.
