Chapter 1131: A slump
Since Zhou Tianzheng and Lu Manyi got married, this is the first time Lin Wan has seen Lu Manyi. This elegant and noble woman still has a cold appearance. Lin Wan couldn't help but think of Zhou Chengkuan, who was far away in Lianbi City, the man who made Lu Manyi never forget, but had no chance in this life.
What Lin Wan didn't expect the most was that Lu Manting, who had been locked in her room for seven or eight days, actually came, and was with her sister Lu Manyi. Although he didn't talk much like Lu Manyi and sat quietly in the corner, his complexion looked good, and he didn't look like he was slumped because of the dissolution of the marriage contract.
Lin Wanzheng hesitated, should she go up to greet Lu Manting, or should she pretend not to see it and go straight to Zhao Jing'er's new house?
But I heard Lu Manting's voice sounding far away, her voice was full of surprise and enthusiasm, and she said loudly: "Sister Wan'er, why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Lin Wan secretly complained in her heart, it turned out that Lu Manting was waiting for her here, and it seemed that she couldn't hide from it no matter what. But it's okay, Lin Wan wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Manting's gourd.
Lu Manting got up and ran towards Lin Wan, wearing a pink dress swaying in the wind, still as beautiful as a fairy, not like a mortal woman.
Lin Wan said with a smile: "Sister Lu, it's been a long time! Since I returned to Beijing, I have been busy attending weddings everywhere, and I don't have time to enter the palace, nor do I have time to get together with my sisters in the past, but I didn't expect that it was so good to meet you here!"
Hearing Lin Wan mention the word "wedding", the smile on Lu Manting's face froze, and immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Yes, the capital has always been a happy event these days, and everyone is busy attending the wedding, which is really lively." ”
Lin Wan realized that her words stung Lu Manting, and she couldn't help but show a trace of an embarrassed smile on her face, and quickly changed the topic, saying, "Actually, I think that since the astrology is changing rapidly, maybe it will change after a while." Maybe when the time comes, Si Tianjian will announce that everything will be fine this year, and every day is a good day, so there is no need for everyone to get married in the first month. ”
Lu Manting smiled and said, "Sister Wan'er is right, since everything is the will of heaven, maybe in a few days, the will of heaven will change, why should we be obsessed with it for a while?"
Of course, Lin Wan heard that Lu Manting was talking about her marriage to Zhou Tianqi, so she smiled faintly and didn't answer the conversation again.
Lu Manting stretched out her right hand, held Lin Wan's hand, and said affectionately: "Sister Wan'er, I heard that you are going to leave for Xiling Kingdom soon, and I don't know when you plan to leave?
Lin Wan noticed Lu Manting's left hand, which had been shrunk in her sleeve, nodded as if inadvertently, pulled up Lu Manting's left arm, and said, "Thank you Sister Lu for missing me, my sister is really moved." However, I don't know when I will leave for the time being, and everything depends on my father's intentions. ”
Lu Manting nodded, held hands with Lin Wan, and walked towards the rattan chair under the shade of the tree. As he walked, he said: "Sister Wan'er, I really envy you, you can go to Xiling Kingdom to participate in the concubine selection feast, and you can go all the way to the mountains and rivers with Brother Tianqi." ”
Lin Wan covered her lips and smiled, "Sister Lu, are you envious that I can go to the Xiling Kingdom's concubine selection feast, or do you envy that I can go to the mountains and rivers with the Seventh Emperor Brothers?"
Lu Manting's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister Wan'er is laughing at me again, my thoughts, I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows." Moreover, this time, everyone in the capital saw my joke. ”
Lin Wan couldn't help but be stunned, and whispered comfortingly: "Sister Lu is too worried, everything is Si Tianjian's fault, you see, Si Tianjian said that you and the Seven Emperor Brothers are not suitable to marry, and the father canceled the wedding between you and the Seven Emperor Brothers; Si Tianjian's words represent the will of heaven, and we people can only obey them. But I suppose that Providence has something else to do for us, and that everything will be clear in a while."
Lu Manting nodded thoughtfully and sighed: "Wan'er, you still think openly and have foresight, no wonder the emperor and Brother Tianqi like you......"
Lin Wan's body was shocked, she didn't expect Lu Manting to suddenly say such a thing, and she couldn't take it for a while. His eyes fell on Lu Manting's white gloved left hand, and he blurted out, "Sister Lu, what's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Manting was stunned, looked at her hand, nodded hesitantly, and said, "Yes, I accidentally burned it a few days ago, so I wore gloves, I was afraid that if I accidentally got the wound wet, it would be easy to leave a scar." ”
Lin Wan frowned slightly, carefully raised Lu Manting's left arm, and said with concern: "Sister Lu, it must be very painful, right? Sit down quickly, don't move anymore." ”
Lu Manting shook her head and said, "Sister Wan'er doesn't need to be nervous, it's been a few days, it doesn't hurt, don't worry." As she spoke, she sat down on the rattan chair, and then pulled Lin Wan to sit down beside her.
Lin Wan sat down slowly, looked at the lively scene in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "There are so many people who came today, basically the powerful people of the entire capital have come." You see, the five princes, the two prime ministers, the head of the household, the head of the Ministry of Rites, the Kyoto Prefecture Yin, and several princesses, the daughters in the capital, are all here. ”
Lu Manting seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't want to say these idle words to Lin Wan, so she just nodded perfunctorily and said, "Yes, I also came with my eldest sister, I have been staying at home these days, and my mother always advised me to go out for a walk and meet my sisters, so I came." However, the most important thing is that I guessed that my sister would definitely come, so I agreed to my mother and eldest sister to come to the wedding of Prince Xing and Miss Zhao. ”
Lin Wan didn't know what Lu Manting wanted to say, but she knew that Lu Manting had always wanted to lead the topic to Lin Wan, so she also guessed that what she wanted to say must be related to Lin Wan, and maybe she had a request for Lin Wan.
So, Lin Wan deliberately turned the topic away, and talked about how lively the wedding of Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan was in General Zhao's mansion this morning. caused Lu Manting to forget her original intention for the time being, and her eyes were full of envy and jealousy for Zhao Mingjin and Tong Xinyan.
Lin Wan finally found an excuse, saying that she was going to visit her cousin in the new house, and got up to say goodbye to Lu Manting temporarily, but was pulled by Lu Manting and said, "Sister Wan'er, I have something to ask for!"
