Chapter 137: Making New Friends
Under the service of the old woman and the maid, Qin Yanran brought the girls to a waterside pavilion in the backyard and sat down one by one. A sharp-eyed old woman brought fish food and fed the girls the koi in the water.
Girls who have good relationships with each other gather in groups of three or five and start whispering.
As the host, Qin Yanran walked back and forth like a colorful butterfly, calling this sister and that sister, taking care of the girls under the corridor very considerately.
As expected of a legitimate daughter raised in a large family, she is adept at socializing and is very versatile.
Jin Chu secretly praised Qin Yanran, and seeing that she was indeed busy, he found a quiet place to sit down.
She held some fish food in her hand and fed the koi in the water from time to time, but in her heart she was thinking about her future plans after next year.
A gentle voice sounded beside my ears: "Miss, do you mind if we are here too?"
Jin Chu turned around and saw a girl wearing lake green clothes, with fair complexion, elegant looks, tall figure, about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding the hand of a little girl of eight or nine years old, who was looking at him with a smile.
The girl next to her was a little reserved, and her deer-like eyes looked at her curiously and innocently, looking playful and cute.
Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh. The girl's eyes suddenly became fixed. She pulled the girl in lake green clothes and said, "Sister Yuan, this sister is more beautiful than flowers when she laughs!"
Although her voice was not loud, the three of them were too close to each other, so Jin Chu heard every word.
She smiled again and turned her gaze to the girl: "Thank you for your kind words, sister."
The little girl blushed immediately after being thanked like this. She lowered her head helplessly and murmured softly, "Huai Zhen has no intention of trying to please Sister. Sister is truly as beautiful as a fairy, prettier than any other sister I know."
Jin Chu suppressed her inner smile, fearing that she would scare the already shy little girl away, so she only said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, sister Huaizhen. I'm very happy that you like me."
After hearing her words, the little girl was obviously calmer.
Jin Chu turned to the girl in lake green and invited her, "If you don't mind, please rest here for a while."
After saying that, he kindly handed the fish food in his hand to the little girl.
The girl in lake green took the fish food from Jinchu's hand and handed it to the girl named Zhen'er. She smiled at Jinchu and said, "My aunt is the eldest lady of this mansion. My given name is Yuan."
Jinchu understood that this must be Yanran's cousin from her uncle's family.
Thinking of Madam Qin's maiden name, Song, she smiled and called out, "Hello, Miss Song! I'm Ye Jin'er, and my cousin, Wang Weiyuan, is a friend of the Seventh Young Master of the mansion."
Hearing Jin Chu introduce herself, Song Yuan's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "I've heard your name from Sister Yanran before. The cosmetics you make are really good to use and smell good. Now that I've seen you in person, I realize you are indeed ingenious and beautiful. If you don't mind, just call me A Yuan."
"It's just some little things I tinkered with in my spare time. It doesn't deserve Ayuan's praise. If you like it, next time I make new cosmetics, I'll give you a few boxes to try." Jin Chu said readily.
"Thank you so much, Miss Jin'er! Last time I went to ask Sister Yanran for it, but she was so stingy that she didn't want to give it to me!" Song Yuan teased her cousin with a smile.
The little girl at the side saw that Sister Yuan was so busy chatting with the angelic Sister Jin'er that she had completely forgotten her own existence. She couldn't wait to pull Sister Yuan's sleeve and motioned her to introduce herself.
Song Yuan laughed when the little girl pulled her like that: "Look at me, I was so busy talking to Miss Jin'er that I forgot about our little Ah Zhen."
She pointed at the little girl and introduced her to Jinchu: "Her name is Zhao Huaizhen, she is the sixth daughter in the Jingchuan Marquis's mansion. Her mother is the aunt of this mansion, and she is Yanran's cousin."
They are both Qin Yanran's cousins, but one is her uncle's cousin and the other is her aunt's cousin.
Jinchu thought about it, and then she smiled and greeted Li Huaizhen again: "Hello, Sister Zhen, I am Sister Jin'er."
Li Huaizhen couldn't help but look at Jin Chu again, his eyes filled with unconcealable love.
The little girl's preferences are so straightforward!
For some reason, Jin Chu always felt that he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this little Huaizhen.
Maybe it's because this girl looks too innocent and cute, or maybe it's because she has shown too much love and kindness to me, so I also have a good impression of this little girl.
Thinking of this, she put aside the inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Miss Jin'er, I was born in March and I'm fifteen years old this year. How about you?"
This is because they want to get to know each other better and start talking about age.
Jinchu smiled and replied, "I was born in August, a few months younger than my sister."
"Then I'll be so bold as to call you Sister Jin'er!"
Song Yuan smiled and took Jin Chu's hand. "To be honest, Sister Jin'er, Ah Zhen is quite attracted to you, and I'm no different. I always feel that besides being beautiful, you also have a kind of transparent energy that makes people want to get closer to you."
"Don't worry, Sister Yuan. I will need your help in the future. Please stop sweet-talking me." Jin Chu joked with a smile.
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily again: "Sister, you have a really good personality, cheerful and playful. Okay, I won't say much to you, we must visit each other often in the future."
Jin Chu nodded, and the three of them started feeding the koi side by side.
A low voice came from the side: "The prince who came to celebrate the old lady's birthday today is really elegant and handsome."
"That's right. The moment he walked in, I felt the room became brighter." Another girl laughed softly.
"Such an outstanding young man, who knows which girl will be his lucky star in the future."
"Don't worry, no one will give you a bargain, otherwise your brother Cong will cry his heart out!" Another cute voice came with a thick smile.
"Oh, you silly girl, I'll tear your grinning mouth apart!"
"I'm right, you're already married, there's no point in even thinking about it!"
Then there was the sound of several girls laughing in a mess.
Wang Weiyuan’s peach blossoms may really be about to bloom!
Jin Chu was thinking secretly, but saw Song Yuan turned around and teased: "Sister Jin'er, do you feel a sense of crisis?"
"What sense of crisis?" Jin Chu looked puzzled.
"You have such an outstanding cousin." Song Yuan's eyes flickered. "He just showed up today, and he already attracted the affections of so many girls in Shoukang Hall. If you two are childhood sweethearts, then you'd better be more alert in the future!"
It turned out that Song Yuan also misunderstood her relationship with Wang Weiyuan.
Jin Chu didn't want to explain, but suddenly thought of what Su Cheng'an said before he left. He sighed and said helplessly, "Sister Yuan, please don't misunderstand me. My cousin and I came to the capital together because my aunt asked me to take care of his daily life for the past few months. There is no private relationship between us. The Spring Examination will be held after the New Year, and my family is waiting for him to pass the exam before finding a good match!"
Although she was explaining this to Song Yuan, her voice was not small and the girls around her heard it clearly.
The girls who had been making a fuss just now kept looking in Jin Chu's direction.
Jin Chuxin said, "Brother Wang, as an assist, I can only help you up to this point!"
