Seeing that she didn't care at all, half of Zhou Zhan's heart dropped, and the other half rose again, feeling weird.
"Don't you have any doubt at all?"
Shen Moran ate his porridge and asked, "What do you suspect?"
"Don't you think it's strange that a cousin appears at this time?"
He felt something was strange, but he couldn't explain it. Shen Moran suddenly felt blessed and asked, "Does your uncle know about you pretending to be sick?"
Zhou Zhan nodded and said honestly: "Uncle knows that there are only Mr. Xie and Su Mu in the capital."
Shen Moran said oh and said nothing further. After waiting for a long time, he saw his princess finishing the porridge, patting the melon seed peels off her body, getting up and going out.
"where did you go……"
Seeing that it was time for lunch, Shen Moran pouted and said: "Go meet your cousin, where else can we go? It's time to have lunch."
The peaceful life has changed with the arrival of Chang Jinchan.
"Are there jade butterfly plums growing in the flower house? I like the fragrance of jade butterfly plums, so I put two pots here."
The guest room Hongying had packed out was in the side courtyard. Chang Jinchan thought it was too far away, so she moved it to the side of the main courtyard.
"Change the tents in the room. I want a red and red tufted flower tent. I want colorful porcelain vases and blue and white tea sets, preferably agarwood tea trays."
Shen Moran listened to her rude tone through the window and smiled silently. Thinking of the dusty gems and jade ornaments placed in the warehouse, even if the Protector went to the west, he would not be without this eldest lady in the family. of food and clothing.
A girl who has been pampered since she was a child is very confident.
With a kind smile on her face, Shen Moran gestured to Zhang Ying to open the curtain.
"The conditions in the house are poor, which makes my cousin feel wronged."
From the moment she came in, Chang Jinchan's eyes were blatantly sizing up her body, and his eyes lingered on the ruby triangle on her head.
Shen Moran ordered: "Changying, go and bring the set of red gold and gemstones I made this year to my cousin."
Changying answered yes and stepped back to get the headdress. The cousin in front of her was good at kung fu, and Jiuer followed closely behind Shen Moran.
Chang Jinchan took another look at her headdress. They were all made of pure gold and were of great value, just because she gave them to her with just one look...
Shen Moran smiled generously and said, "Clothes are easy to make, but jewelry that represents a woman's face is not easy to choose. My cousin will settle for now. When you have some free time, my sister-in-law will take you to Jubao Pavilion to pick out a few sets."
"What means do you have to marry cousin King Zhan? Don't think that you can buy me off with just one appearance!"
Chang Jinchan practices martial arts and is one year older than Shen Moran. She is half a head taller than her. Her body is as straight as a red-tasseled spear and she is as heroic as Si Yiluo. She is a bit like Si Yiluo, but she is much more delicate than Si Yiluo. .
Shen Moran found that she liked this type.
"His Highness and I are married by the Emperor. The imperial edict is in front of us. Cousin, how many brains do you think I dare to resist and disobey? Moreover, I don't want to bribe you, because I hit it off with my cousin and I like my cousin's character. "
She spoke frankly, but Chang Jinchan did not let go of her defensiveness.
"There's no such thing as feeling like old friends at first sight. My dad said, it's not for no reason but for ulterior motives!"
Shen Moran didn't expect her to react like this and couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing!"
Chang Jinchan was a little angry.
Shen Moran explained: "My cousin is so direct, so I won't beat around the bush. Since my cousin said there is no reason, she has ulterior motives. Before today, my cousin and I have never met. Why is my cousin so hostile to me? ?”
"I would understand if it was the first time strangers met and they were cautious, but when my cousin came, she wanted to break into the bedroom between me and His Highness. It didn't sound like she was being cautious, but she seemed like... she had ulterior motives!"
The girl was exposed, but she forced herself to defend herself: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time and miss him, can't I?"
Shen Moran smiled and nodded.
"Okay, you can, but men and women are not seated at the same table when they are seven years old, and they cannot exchange letters in private, otherwise it will be a private exchange. When my cousin and His Highness parted, His Highness had already reached the age where he needed to abide by etiquette, and he should not leave anything for his cousin. letter."
"Without contact for ten years, even brothers and sisters should feel alienated. As soon as the cousin met, he hugged a strange man and expressed his longing... Tsk, are the folk customs in the northwest so open?"
Chang Jinchan took a few deep breaths, exhaled it slowly, and said, "Cousin-in-law is jealous of our brother and sister's good relationship?"
Shen Moran said lightly: "My cousin and His Highness have a good relationship. It's not too late for me to be a sister-in-law. Everything is going well with my family. I don't know what my cousin likes to eat. I asked the kitchen to make something for the reception banquet at noon today. , the people employed in the house are all old people from the Protector's House, if my cousin likes them, just give them orders."
Chang Jinchan was not discouraged even after punching the cotton, but she intuitively felt that her cousin-in-law was not easy to deal with.
In the winter, charcoal fire is added to the bottom of the meals to keep them warm, ensuring that every dish tastes like it's freshly cooked. With outsiders around, Zhou Zhan only took a few mouthfuls of the salty porridge before putting down his chopsticks.
Shen Moran greeted Chang Jinchan to eat food.
"This roasted mutton tastes good. My cousin should be able to eat it."
Chang Jinchan raised her chin and looked at Zhou Zhan, coquettishly saying: "Cousin, please help Chan'er do it."
Before Zhou Zhan picked up the chopsticks, Shen Moran directly brought the plate and plate in front of her.
"Your Highness is weak and has no strength. If my cousin wants to eat anything, tell my cousin. If things don't work out, there are still maids and servants. There is no need to call on Your Highness."
In one sentence, she is defined as a naive and delicate young lady!
Chang Jinchan was so angry that she almost threw her chopsticks. Not only Shen Moran's dowry girl was waiting in the room, but also people from the palace. If she dropped her chopsticks, the gap between her and Shen Moran would be obvious.
"Thank you, cousin. It's been a long time since I heard from my cousin. Chan'er doesn't even know what's going on with her now... Is my cousin in good health?"
Shen Moran smiled and comforted.
"Cousin, don't blame yourself. Your Highness didn't eat much...Bitao, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some shredded chicken porridge. The porridge will be softer and easier to digest."
He also insinuated that she was not considerate enough. Couldn't you tell that Zhou Zhan didn't eat?
Chang Jinchan bit the brittle bone with a crunching sound. She fell into a disadvantage as soon as they met. If she said too much, she would be wrong. She could only shut her mouth for the time being and eat!
Shen Moran took good care of her diet, inquired about her welfare, and acted in a flawless manner... She couldn't make any mistakes even if she wanted to pick something.
"Cousin, can you accompany me to visit the palace after dinner? When I left the capital with my father when I was a child, you didn't give me the palace yet!"
Shen Moran kicked Zhou Zhan under the table, and while he was frowning, he said: "Cousin, His Highness was unwell last night, and he didn't eat much for lunch. Let His Highness rest for a while. Since my cousin has come to the capital, , you can visit the palace anytime..."
"I'm not stopping you brothers and sisters from communicating with each other. When His Highness gets better, I can accompany my cousin back to the Protector's Mansion. What does my cousin think?"
Three times in a row, she hit the wall three times, and Shen Moran was right every time. Chang Jinchan felt aggrieved. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Zhan's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of standing up for herself, her eyes turned red.
