Chapter 43: Love at First Sight
Lu Qingyi put down the teapot, raised his head and glanced at Duanyue with a slight meaning. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "I can't hide it, I fell in love with Brother Ling at first sight." ”
In the face of Lu Qingyi's honesty, Duanyue choked on a sip of tea, and Cuiguo hurriedly patted her back to relieve Duanyue's endless cough.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Duanyue was choked and coughed, she raised her head and looked at Lu Qingyi in a daze, and let out a dry smile. The county lord of Jin Zhao is really honest. ”
Lu Qingyi smiled lightly, and her cheeks flushed. Duanyue pinched the teacup and hurriedly drank it all to ease her mind, she looked at Lu Qingyi carefully, and looked like a good-looking and dexterous woman, but she was so bold, and she had the domineering spirit of the foreign woman in her memory, which was really inconsistent with her appearance as a woman from the Central Plains.
"When I was rescued by Ning Hou that day, I secretly agreed, and my maid was also not clever, and forgot to ask who rescued me. I thought I would never see each other again, but I didn't expect to meet again. She leaned forward, a determined look in her eyes. Since God let us meet again, I can't just miss it. ”
Duanyue didn't know what to say, so she could only perfunctory Lu Qingyi at will. "That's really going to bless you."
"Actually, I came here this time to ask you for advice, I want to ask Ning Hou what he likes and dislikes." With a shy face, she finally said her purpose.
It turns out that I'm here to ask Duanyue for experience. Duanyue touched his smooth chin and thought about it carefully, to be honest, Duanyue didn't know about the likes of the wind either, only that he liked the smell of the sachet he had been wearing. I don't know what I like or don't like.
Duanyue was slightly embarrassed and apologized to Lu Qingyi. "I'm afraid it's hard for me to tell you this, after all, I can't tell others what I like at will, I'm afraid my brother will be unhappy." She stubbornly didn't want to tell the truth, which showed how much she didn't care about the wind, and she couldn't tell how the rumors outside ridiculed her.
"Ah...... Also, it's really hard to say that such a personal issue is that I didn't think it through. Lu Qingyi actually believed Duanyue's fabricated words, and sure enough, when people are courting, everything others say will be regarded as true. Intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced out the door, looking at the courtyard where no one passed, and her thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.
Duanyue looked at her gaze, it was empty, and Duanyue saw a hint of anticipation in her eyes. "If you had been here for a long time, you would have seen your brother, and he would have gone out."
"No wonder Ninghou's mansion seems deserted." Lu Qingyi smiled lightly, she stood up gracefully, and blessed Duanyue. "It's really my inappropriateness to not send someone to report in advance today, I've been here for a long time, I'm afraid that my mother will be in a hurry, so Qingyi will go back first."
"Cuiguo, don't send it to the county lord of Jinzhao soon." Duanyue wished that Lu Qingyi would go quickly, so she was so excited that she quickly stood up and pulled the cuiguo. Today, she came suddenly for no reason, and said these strange words for no reason, which made Duanyue feel so restrained and embarrassed, and the most important thing is that this Lu Qingyi is the daughter of Princess Sheng'an, which makes her feel that she doesn't want to get along.
Cuiguo listened to Duanyue's command and twisted it, glanced at Lu Qingyi coldly, and showed a smile. "Lord Jin Zhao, please."
Lu Qingyi nodded at her and left behind her. When she walked out of Duanyue's courtyard, she couldn't hold back any longer, and whispered to Cuiguo with a mysterious smile.
"How long has Miss Cuiguo been in Ninghou Mansion?"
Cuiguo didn't expect her to talk, so she immediately replied deferentially because of her rank. "The slave maid was originally from Murong Mansion, and she has been taking care of her since the county lord entered Beijing."
"Oh." Lu Qingyi nodded incomprehensibly, she quietly put her hand into her sleeve, took out a bag of satin bags the size of eggs, and pushed it to Cuiguo's hand. "Lord Shi'an refuses to tell me Ning Hou's preferences, you have followed the two of you for many years, you should know a little bit about it, right?"
The back of Cuiguo's hand touched the bag, only to feel that it was a sharp and cold hard object inside, and it made a delicate tinkling sound as Lu Qingyi's hand pushed and shoved.
"A little care is not respect." Lu Qingyi bent her eyebrows, she forcibly broke Cuiguo's hand and put the bag in her hand.
The heavy weight made Cuiguo swallow greedily. With such a bag of silver melon seeds, you can buy a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits in Chang'an City. Cuiguo silently took the bag into her arms, her round eyes looking around for fear that someone would see the dirty deal.
"Master Hou grew up outside the Saiwai since he was a child, so he naturally loves the food of the Uighur people, but the slaves and maids have little knowledge and don't know which ones." She lowered her head and said slowly word by word, for fear that Lu Qingyi would hear a word.
Lu Qingyi listened to Cuiguo's words, and suddenly became excited, and the smile on her face was finally no longer that hypocritical, but genuinely laughing. yes, I didn't think of that! Pheasant Wind grew up in Broken Leaf City, so he was naturally used to eating those exotic foods, even if he had been in the Central Plains for many years, the taste was still unforgettable.
She showed a girl's expression, and thanked Cuiguo again and again with joy, her steps were brisk and fast, and she couldn't wait to fly back to the post station to search for those delicacies. Cuiguo sent her out of Ninghou Mansion with an indifferent face, and walked back to Duanyue's courtyard silently.
"Did she go back?" Duanyue watched Cuiguo come back, and the first thing she said was to ask her this.
Cuiguo pushed the bag in her sleeve with a slight weakness, and her eyes dodged. "When I went back, I was quite happy."
"One day when I have time, I will go to talk to Meng Yin, this Lu Qingyi is strange, I don't know if he understands." Duanyue dragged her chin with disgust. "Did she really take it seriously when I promised her? Don't be wishful thinking, and in the end, my brother is not a human being. ”
"Yes, I listened to what the county lord of Jin Zhao said, I am ashamed!" Cuiguo hurriedly echoed. "Don't miss her, I'm afraid I'm tired of looking for Miss Yu today, why don't you let someone burn a bucket of bath water to let the county lord relax?"
If it weren't for Cuiguo mentioning it, Duanyue really forgot the soreness in her legs, she rubbed her sour and stiff shoulder blades, and sighed Cuiguo's understanding. "You've been the sweetest you've been all these years, like a roundworm in my stomach. Go ahead, I'm tired too. With a wave of her hand, Cuiguo hurriedly "eh" and went down.
Cuiguo turned around and stepped on the hem of her skirt, almost falling, but fortunately she lifted the obstructive skirt in time, and then shook her body and stood firm. She turned back to Duanyue and showed a "no hindrance" smile, but at this moment, the hand holding the hem of the skirt naturally drooped, and the brocade bag between the sleeves slipped out.
Worst! Cuiguo hurriedly wanted to pick up the bag, but it happened that the bag rolled to Duanyue's feet. She had expected to be interrogated, but Duanyue was not thinking about it at this time, so she naturally picked it up and handed it to Cuiguo. "Your sachet is really heavy."
As soon as the words came out, Duanyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered her head to find that what she was holding in her hand was not a sachet but a small sachet. After knowing that he was wrong, he had to cough to hide his embarrassment.
Cuiguo hurriedly took the bag into her arms and left. But Duanyue suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind. If it weren't for the falling sachet, she really couldn't remember, Cuiguo had embroidered a dark green water pattern sachet a few years ago, and it seemed to be the same as the one worn by the Wild Wind.
"So that's it?" Duanyue muttered to herself thoughtfully.
