Chapter 145: Old Contradictions
After a tiring day, Doudou slept very soundly at night, and when he woke up, it was almost time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She quickly got up from the bed, and the maids knew that she still had to go to greet the old lady, and waited for her to wash and change her clothes.
Because I had to go out to watch the dragon boat race, Cai Qing took a little more effort to groom Doudou than usual.
That Lu Jiu girl is so colorful, but she can't be compared to the girl.
Of course, in her mind, her own girl is the most beautiful, but she is even more outstanding when she dresses up carefully.
As the weather gets hotter, the girls' dresses are more diverse.
She picked out a light purple soft smoke Wangxian skirt for Doudou, and pinned a pair of hollow orchid beads to her bun, which was cool and elegant, attracting bursts of admiration from the maids.
After packing up, Doudou took Cai Sang and Fat Mai Sui'er to Chunhui Hall.
Today is the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the house has been hung with calamus wormwood, and the faint fragrance smells refreshing.
The old lady in Chunhui Hall was preparing for breakfast, and when she saw Doudou coming, she instructed Mother Wu to tie the prepared sachet to her.
There are cinnabar, realgar, and incense wrapped in silk cloth in the sachet, and the strings are buckled into a rope with colorful silk threads, the colors are bright and small, and they are lovely.
Tie the sachet, and the old lady personally tied five-colored silk threads to Doudou's wrists.
Doudou closed her mouth tightly, and she didn't laugh until the old lady tied the silk thread.
She has been a Yuan Er girl for nearly nine years, and this is not the first time that her grandmother has tied five-colored silk threads to her.
She talked a lot when she was a child, and her grandmother had to explain every time she tied a colorful silk thread, and she was not allowed to speak when she tied the thread.
She hasn't spent the Dragon Boat Festival at home in the past two years, did her grandmother forget to explain?
The old lady said: "This is about to get married or the same temperament as before, my grandmother has lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen a little girl like my sister Yuan who loves to laugh so much, so I want to laugh with a silk thread, don't you want to sneak out to play again?"
Doudou said in a coquettish voice: "Grandmother, there is a dragon boat race today, Lu Jiuxia invited me to go with me, and I can't shirk it, so you can let me go out to play for a day." ”
The old lady smiled and said to Mother Wu: "No wonder she laughed like drinking honey, it turned out that she wanted to make me, an old lady, happy, and leaked her out as soon as she let go of her hand." ”
Mother Wu said: "The second girl is still young and likes to join in the fun, so the old lady will miss this one more time." ”
The old lady said: "Go, bring more people, squeeze less into crowded places, and come back early." ”
Doudou smiled: "I know, grandmother is listening to the play at home, Yuan'er is leaving." ”
The old lady smiled and patted her little ass: "What a ghost elf, and I know that your father invited the troupe to sing for me today." ”
Doudou giggled and ran out.
As soon as the three of them walked to the second gate, they saw Pei Jinhong walking towards this side from a distance.
Doudou hurriedly greeted him and said, "Second brother, why are you here?"
Speaking of his two elder brothers, he is also very valued by His Majesty the Emperor, isn't His Majesty going to watch the game today, why didn't the second brother go together, it's really strange.
Sure enough, Pei Jinhong said with a smile: "The second brother didn't want to be detained by His Majesty, so he asked the eldest brother to take leave for me, but I didn't expect to be caught by my mother again, and told me to accompany you to watch the dragon boat race." ”
Doudou said: "How do you know that I will go to join in the fun, in case I want to rest at home?"
Pei Jinhong's eyes narrowed with a smile: "That's better, the dragon boat race is about the same every year, I'm tired of watching it for a long time, it's better to stay with you in Jingnan Hou Mansion for a day, and you can mix some delicious food." ”
Doudou dragged his arm and walked out: "You think beautifully, I'm about to go out to join in the fun, let's go." ”
The brother and sister soon came to the second gate, and Pei Jinhong got into her carriage with the three of Doudou's master and servant.
Doudou lifted the curtain and looked at it and said, "Second brother, where is your carriage?"
Pei Jinhong said with a smile: "I came on horseback, and let my little maid send it to the stable." ”
"No wonder. Doudou raised his voice again and instructed Wu Jingui, who was driving the car: "Brother Jingui, let's go to Yuefeng Building." ”
"Okay. Wu Jingui answered, and the carriage soon moved.
"Yuan'er, have you booked a private room in Yuefeng Building?" Pei Jinhong was a little surprised.
Huo Xiao is the person His Majesty the Emperor values the most, unlike him who can find an excuse to slip away, is it necessary for my sister to charter the private room of Yuefeng Building alone?
According to him, the dragon boat race is a lively picture, there are so many sheds built along the river, everyone huddles together to see the taste.
Doudou said: "Where do I have that interest, it was the private room chartered by the nine girls in the old mansion of Lu Ge, and she invited me to go." ”
Pei Jinhong said: "No wonder, I said that you don't look like that kind of vassal and elegant person......
Doudou stopped drying: "You mean I'm a layman, not qualified to go to Yuefeng Building?"
Pei Jinhong couldn't cry or laugh: "Where dare I, I mean that the people of the Lu family are all sour and rotten people who are scholars, but I didn't expect you to be friends with Lu Qian." ”
Doudou blinked his eyes, was Lu Jiu very famous in the capital in the past? Da Bai Tangyuan just knew her, how could even her brother know her name?
Pei Jinhong was not as attentive as Pei Jincheng, and he didn't notice Doudou's surprise, and said with a smile: "I am the eldest brother of Lu Qian, the third young master of the Lu family, Lu Ning, is a classmate, and I often hear him mention the ninth sister of his family, and my ears are calloused. ”
Doudou said: "What did Lu Ning say?"
Pei Jinhong said: "It's not just to praise his ninth sister, at that time I didn't know that you were my sister-in-law's sister, isn't Xin'er's reputation bad, he always said in front of me how good his ninth sister is......"
Doudou raised his eyebrows: "You shouldn't be making trouble with others for this, right?"
His second brother is the most protective, because the second girl of the Yuan family "robbed" his sister's marriage, he dared to lead someone to rob and kill him, and he couldn't stand the provocative display of his classmates.
Pei Jinhong scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I didn't make much trouble, I just moved my muscles and bones casually." ”
Doudou laughed with a puff, the Lu family is a scholarly and noble family, and the children in the house have always only studied and not practiced martial arts.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning, the third son of the Lu family, is also a weak scholar, can his small body withstand the second brother's movement of muscles and bones?
Pei Jinhong was a little annoyed and said, "I really didn't do anything to him, otherwise my mother would have spared me." ”
That's right, that day Niang took the second brother to take the blame, and she still remembers it clearly.
Doudou joked: "So you and Lu Ning can be regarded as having a conflict, you are not allowed to cause trouble when we meet today." ”
Pei Jinhong said: "What? Lu Ning is also in Yuefeng Tower today?"
Doudou shrugged: "I don't know, Lu Jiu only said that he would let her brother accompany him, how would I know which brother of hers it is." ”
Pei Jinhong pouted, Lu Qian is Lu Ning's brother-in-law, it's not him!
The brother and sister said no more, and the carriage soon came to the vicinity of Yuefeng Tower.
Yuefeng Lou is not a restaurant, but a rather elegant teahouse, because it is near the water, it is the best place to watch the dragon boat race in Beijing.
At this time, it was still early, and there were not many people on the street, so the brother and sister got off the carriage and walked around the street for half an hour, and then Shi Shiran entered Yuefeng Building.
Lu Jiu and a young and handsome man were already waiting in the private room, and when they saw Doudou and the others coming, the two stood up together.
Lu Jiufu smiled and said, "Second Prince Pei is good." ”
At the same time, he pointed to the young man beside him and said, "Yuan Er, this is my brother Lu Jiasanlang." ”
That Lu Sanlang didn't look at Pei Jinhong at all, but only gave Doudou a slight salute and said, "Second Miss Yuan, Lu Ning is polite." ”
