Chapter Seventy-One: An Invitation to Travel

"Lu Qiao, you find an opportunity to sneak out and give my note to Xiao Xuanzi in the outer courtyard, he is the second prince's person, and he will pass the news to the second prince."

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Chengcheng immediately wrote a note, and then handed it to Lu Qiao.

"Yes, miss. After nightfall, the slave and maid went out through the back door and must have handed the note to Xiao Xuanzi. ”

Put the note away, and the green warp whispered a guarantee.

A day was spent in Wu Chengcheng's restlessness, holding a pen to write for a long time, but he didn't write a few chapters of the Heart Sutra. At the beginning of the day, the keys began to fall in all the courtyards, and Lu Qiao quietly walked out from the back corner door of the pomegranate courtyard.

Sneaking all the way to the corner gate where the inner and outer courtyards meet, while the mother-in-law didn't pay attention, Lu Qiao squatted down not far from the corner gate, and opened the hanging vines, revealing an old dog hole that had been dug up.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Lu Qiao went into it and came to the outer courtyard from this dog hole.

After coming out, Lu Qiao walked cautiously all the way, and soon came to the place where Xiao Xuanzi was duty. Xiao Xuanzi is in the outer courtyard, mainly responsible for keeping vigil and guarding the courtyard, and the place where he is often there is the road where the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard meet.

Hiding in the shadows behind the trees, Midori looked at the figure walking under the porch not far away, and couldn't help but smile on his face......

The next day, the study of the Second Prince's Mansion

Sitting on a chair and glancing at the note in his hand, Situ Jingshuo folded it up and put it on the desk.

"Is there anything else coming from Wu Chengcheng?"

"Back to the second prince, Lu Qiao said that Miss Tang was very worried and anxious, and she was afraid that Mrs. Wu would really find someone to marry her, and hoped that the second prince would help her think of a way, and she didn't say anything else."

Standing respectfully in the study, Xiao Xuanzi carefully recalled Lu Qiao's words to make sure that they were not left behind.

"Okay, I got it. When you go back, tell Lu Qiao to reassure them that there will be nothing wrong with me. ”

Glancing at Xiao Xuanzi, Situ Jingxuan waved his hand at him.

"Yes, second prince, the little one will go back to Wufu first."

"Wait a minute, Wu Yunyang has been in contact with Situ Sedum recently?"

Just wanted to nod, Situ Jingxuan suddenly remembered this matter, and hurriedly called him again.

"No, during my time in the Wu Mansion, I have never seen the eldest prince or his people come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, on the day of Mrs. Wu's sixtieth birthday, he and the second prince came together."

Nodding definitely, Xiao Xuanzi reported to Situ Jingxuan.

"Okay, I know, you go back, pay attention to Wu Yunyang's movements."

Waved his hand at Xiao Xuanzi again, watching him walk out of the door of the study, Situ Jingshuo picked up the note on the desk, smiled, and then threw it into the charcoal basin on the side.

"It's not enough to succeed and more to lose, but I can't just help me get Wu Tianrou's favor! However, I really can't let her marry someone else, how can I give my things to someone else! ”

Yin smiled a little, looking at the note that burned into ashes in the charcoal fire, Situ Jingshuo squinted his eyes slightly.

"Even if you choose someone, it can't be so fast, as long as you solve the problem of Jin Mingchi within three months, and then gain Wu Tianrou's favor, nothing else."

…………………………………………

That night, when Lu Qiao came out of the abandoned dog hole again and came to the corner gate where the inner and outer courtyards met, Xiao Xuanzi was already waiting by the wall.

"Xiao Xuanzi, what did the second prince say?"

"Lu Qiao, the second prince said, let your young lady rest assured, everything is with him."

Smiling at Lu Qiao, Xiao Xuanzi softly conveyed Situ Jingxuan's meaning to her.

"I know, thank you, Xiao Xuanzi, I have to go back quickly, otherwise I should be discovered."

After taking a closer look around, Lu Qiao nodded to Xiao Xuanzi, and hurriedly returned to the Pomegranate Courtyard from the same way.

When he came back, Wu Qingcheng's room was still brightly lit. As soon as Lu Qiao pushed the door open and went in, he saw Wu Tingcheng, who was sitting on the soft couch, raised his head immediately when he heard the voice.

"How, how did the second prince reply?"

"Miss, don't worry, Xiao Xuanzi said, the second prince said that he has everything he said, so Miss don't have to worry."

hurriedly walked to Wu Chengcheng's side, and Lu Qiao hurriedly relayed the news to her.

"Really, that's what he said, great!"

With Lu Qiao's assurance, Wu Chengcheng finally put his mind at ease, and his heart that had been flustered and nervous for two days was finally put down.

This reassurance, he instinctively felt tired, Wu Tingcheng couldn't help but yawn, simply stood up, and walked towards the bed. Under the service of Lu Qiao and Lu Ping, Wu Chengcheng changed his clothes and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

After a few days like this, there was a goose feather snow in the middle, and the green branches played hard, and they took the little maid to build two snowmen in the Yunxiang Courtyard. Wu Tianrou just looked at them with a light smile, and didn't make a sound to stop them.

"Miss is just too indulgent of them."

Looking out the window with a smile, Mother Wu shook her head lightly.

"Forget it, Mother Wu. It's boring in this winter, so it's up to them if they want to build a snowman, and it won't get in the way anyway. ”

After glancing out the window again, Wu Tianrou reflexively walked back to the table, sat down and drank a sip of the hot tea handed over by Cuiping.

Mother Wu hurriedly closed the window casually, just open it every day to change the air a little, but I don't dare to open it for a long time, it's still cold outside.

"Miss, Mrs. Fang Cai sent a post from the county lord of Qianqian."

Cuiqin walked in with two little maids and food boxes.

After the little maid put the food box away and exited the house, Cuiqin stepped forward and took out a post from her arms.

"Is there anything wrong with the Qianqian County Lord's post?"

Since Wu Tianrou and Qianqian County Lord became friends, under Wu Tianrou's deliberate guidance, the two quickly became best friends, and they have been very close in the past few days. Mother Wu also knows about her relatives, so she pays attention to her and the county lord of Qianqian.

"The county lord of Qianqian posted that he wanted to be the east, set up a seat in the Yueyue Building on the night of the Lantern Festival, and invited some young ladies to visit the Lantern Festival together to see the excitement."

After reading the post, Wu Tianrou said to Wu's mother with a smile.

"Which ladies have you invited?"

"Several sisters in our family have been invited, as well as Liu Ruyan, Du Rong, Sun Yueru and several other young ladies, and there are a few people I am not familiar with."

Putting down the note, Wu Tianrou raised her eyes to look at Cuiping.

"The day after tomorrow is the 15th Lantern Festival, you have to prepare the clothes for that day's trip."

"Miss, don't worry, the slave will prepare immediately, and nothing will go wrong."

Smiling and assuring, Cuiping helped Cuiqin set up the meal, and then walked out of the room and ate by Cuiqin's costume.
