39. Bai Yin
Weeping willows surround the clear lake, and the clear lake surrounds the pavilions, and the petals are one after another. The sound of the piano wafts in the breeze.
In the pavilion.
The second prince, Xuan Zhihao, was sipping tea and listening to the piano, and he had tried very hard to revel in it, but in the end it was in vain. He had to put down the cup in his hand and sigh loudly. "You two are talking? The atmosphere is really permeating. ”
It was a good season and a good atmosphere, but it was covered up by the strange aura wandering between the two brothers in front of him, which made the people around him uncomfortable.
Even the beauty who was playing the piano on the opposite side was almost out of tune several times, looking at that face, it seemed that she wanted to run away, but she didn't have the guts.
Xuan Zhihao was a merciful person, and finally waved his hand and sent the beauty away.
The beauty was ordered, her face was happy, she saluted, and almost ran away.
Lu Xun and Lu Yi sat opposite each other, Lu Yi always lowered his head, and Lu Xun always looked at each other lightly. Both of them seem to be obsessed with something.
Xuan Zhihao looked at the two of them back and forth, coughed, and wanted to open his mouth to say something to slow down the atmosphere, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shut up.
He couldn't help but mumble in a low voice. "Why do you have to make trouble with me? Doesn't that make me feel uncomfortable? ”
After another period of silence, Lu Xun stood up and spoke first. "You feel free." Just walk away.
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and also opened his mouth. Because of the second brother's willfulness, she was pushed to the forefront today, and I am afraid that she has been ridiculed. Aren't you guilty? ”
Lu Xun, who was facing away from him, stopped, and a trace of strangeness crossed his eyes, fleeting. He said lightly: "If I marry her, I can bring back her face several times." ”
And those who can't keep their mouths shut, he will not let go.
Lu Yi's eyes darkened, and he said faintly: "Let's do it!" ”
Lu Xun didn't say a word and walked away.
With his departure, Xuan Zhihao looked Lu Yi who was depressed up and down. "Just let your daughter-in-law go? I thought you would fight for it, but I don't want you to end up just fighting to watch her marry Lu Xun. What to see? Still think you're not aggrieved enough? ”
Lu Yi's eyes flashed with a wisp of self-deprecation, but he was speechless.
Xuan Zhihao blushed. "I'm a little curious about what kind of girl can make your already not very good relationship even more stiff."
Lu Yi opened the topic. "These days, troublesome His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Xuan Zhihao waved his hand. "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, I just feel like I'm helping Lu Xun create evil. Okay, he actually helped him rob his eldest brother and daughter-in-law. ”
Lu Yi lowered his eyes. "It's better for Ah Li to marry him than to marry me."
"Look at the identity, it is. But ......" Xuan Zhihao paused for a moment and continued: "I think that girl likes you, right?" Now that she is out like this, she must be very sad. ”
Lu Yi replied softly: "Not necessarily." ”
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
When Lu Xun returned to Huainan Mansion, he was led to Mrs. Lu's by his subordinates.
The anger on Old Lady Lu's old face couldn't be suppressed, and she said angrily: "Don't you want it? Didn't you give it up? Now that you're making this fuss at this juncture, why did you do it earlier? ”
When Lu Xun took Lu Yi away with him, he revealed the news to Mrs. Lu, and after thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Lu knew the ins and outs of the matter, angry and helpless.
Seeing that he was silent, Old Lady Lu stretched out her fingers and pointed at him tremblingly. "How can the men of our Lu family be so indecisive? Even if our Lu family doesn't want this face, what should the girl think? Do you like her, but don't consider her feelings? She must have been drowned out by gossip at the moment. ”
Lu Xun finally spoke. "Tomorrow morning, the dowry will be given."
Old lady Lu was choked, and only after a long time did he say, "Joke, this is really a big joke." Come to think of it, there is a joke performed by our Lu family in the whole of Maodu to watch. ”
After being silent for a while, Old Lady Lu could only sit down, shake her head and sigh. "That's it, I said that I don't care about the affairs of Huainan Mansion, so I just don't care. Since you're in charge, you're up to the cracks. I only ask you now, what about your eldest brother? ”
Lu Xun didn't answer, but said, "He will come back before marriage." ”
Old lady Lu raised her head and wanted to open her mouth again, but she knew Lu Xun's stubborn temper, so she could only wave her hand.
"Go, go, go...... Do whatever you want. You look like a dusty servant, I think you have been in a hurry. Take care of it and get some rest. It's better to give the dowry tomorrow, and get that girl out of those gossips as soon as possible. No matter what, she's just a girl's family. It's our Lu family who can't stand her, and this joke has to be endured by our Lu family. ”
Lu Xun crossed something in his eyes, and responded lightly. "Hmm!" Turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Old lady Lu thought of something and asked, "Why hasn't your mother returned yet?" ”
Lu Xun was silent.
Old lady Lu was so smart that she was suspicious. "Isn't this about you?"
Lu Xun did not deny it.
After Old Lady Lu lowered his head and thought about it, he didn't say anything, just shook his head. "Go ahead!"
"Hmm!"
When he stepped out of the courtyard, he went straight in the direction of the gate of Huainan Mansion. When Zhiluo saw it, he hurriedly persuaded: "Childe, hurry for many days, I hope that Gongzi will rest first." ”
Lu Xun didn't pause because of his words, but quickened his pace.
Zhiluo opened his mouth, but did not persuade him again, but just followed.
"Don't follow me!"
“……”
Yin family.
Yin Lijiao took off her makeup and put away her wedding clothes.
She walked out of the boudoir with Shen Yayan, who was still sad, and came to the front yard.
Seeing the depressed scene of the Yin family coming and going to clean up the guys, Shen Yayan's eyes turned red again. "What a happy event, why did it become like this?"
Those who drink wine, watch the excitement, and help with the work...... All of them left, and only the people of the Yin Shen family remained.
Shen Yashu looked at Yin Lijiao and sneered, because of the presence of the elders, she didn't say anything, but the disdain in her eyes was too full and extremely dazzling.
Yin Lijiao's face was fine. "Let's just think that I have no fate with Lu Yi!" It was impossible to say that there was no resentment, but she would not blindly resentful until she and he had spoken to their faces.
Governor Shen shook his head. "Gillian ......"
"Uncle Shen, it's Ah Li."
"Yes, yes, it's good for Ah Li to be open, but if he wants to marry again in the future, he will ......" He sighed, but he really felt sorry for her.
Regardless of whether the Yin family climbed higher than the Shen family in the back, even if he would be jealous. But it is undeniable that if the Yin family climbs high, it will also be good for their Shen family. Regarding this marriage, it is inevitable that some ducks in hand have flown off.
Father Yin sat on the side with a devastated look, and he became much older in the blink of an eye.
Yin Lijiao walked over and hugged him and smiled deliberately. "Dad, that's actually good! From now on, I will accompany my father for the rest of my life. lest I get married, and my father will be alone. ”
Father Yin opened his mouth, and a thousand words turned into a sigh. He patted her hand and looked at her with distress in his eyes. The boy didn't flick his tears when he had tears, but this time, his eyes were red.
It was he who didn't take good care of his daughter, and he didn't give her a good future.
It's all his fault.
Looking at his father's appearance, Yin Lijiao pursed her lips. Otherwise, although she can not blame Lu Yi, she can think that he has a reason. can make her father look like this, but she can't increase the resentment in her heart.
She lowered her eyes to hide the anger in her eyes, Lu Yi had to give her this explanation.
This joke of the Yin family spread throughout the entire capital in the blink of an eye. Those who are not familiar with Yin Lijiao are just talking and laughing, but those who are close and familiar with them are more excited the more they talk, and the more they say that they disdain Yin Lijiao deeper.
Although the people around were scattered from Yin's house, they were still talking about it, so lively. Women, in particular, all get together to talk and laugh. The leader of the Xue Mu and the Mrs. Di family, who were five households away from the Yin family, especially the laughing flowers and branches, trembled and spittled everywhere.
"That wild girl who has no mother's education, I have long thought that she is not a good girl. In our area, no girl can marry her so well. Sure enough! God has long eyes, so the show is here! "If it weren't for the jealousy of Yin Lijiao's in-laws before, Mother Xue would not have a grudge against Yin Lijiao.
Mrs. Di covered her mouth and smiled. "Giggles...... I don't know if she's a good girl, but today's show is really funny. ”
Another woman slapped her thigh and laughed. "Haha...... That girl has to be a laughing stock for the rest of her life. ”
There are still those who can't see it, and some people persuade: "That's it, don't talk about people like that, in fact, it's also pitiful."
"That's right."
"Whew!"
“……”
Just when men and women, old and young, gathered one after another to chat, pulling from Yin Lijiao's matter to other places, and then pulling back from other places, pulling back and forth. The aura was steep, and the slender dark figure gradually stepped in, gradually passing through the crowd.
Everyone quieted down, and wanted to continue to say something related to the visitor, but they were so frightened by his horrific eyes that they didn't dare to say a word.
Lu Xun's cold eyes swept over everyone, like a sword piercing the heart, as long as they moved a little, they would die.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared in the middle of the Yin family's gate that everyone gasped, slowed down, and began to talk in shock.
"That was the second son of Lu just now?"
"It seems so."
"This is to explain to the Yin family?"
"Maybe, after all, he is the head of Huainan Mansion, and he should be out of this face."
At this time, Xue's mother rolled her eyes and ran back to Xue's house to pull Azhu. "Hurry, hurry...... Go to Yin's house, this is a rare opportunity to meet. ”
Ju was puzzled. "Mother, why did you go to Yin's house? What encounters? ”
"Second Prince Lu has gone to the Yin family, you hurry up and dress up, be sure to seize this opportunity."
"Really?" Juju is overjoyed.
"Of course it's true, go ahead!"
"Whoa!"
