Chapter 271: Mountain Rain is Coming
Until the last day of the polo match, Ning Junwu, who is said to have extraordinary polo skills and a place in the hearts of the ladies in the capital, did not appear, which disappointed many show girls, while Xia Xiaodong was both a little disappointed and a little happy.
Of course, I was disappointed that I couldn't meet this guy, not to mention anything else, I guess his posture of playing polo should be quite good. is happy, but thinks that Ning Twenty-six does not appear at this time, which is equivalent to saying that he is not interesting to others, and when he heard that Dou Xiaomei did not see Ning Junwu, she was so sad that she cried.
The imaginary men's polo and women's cooking skills are indeed very lively, but there are no special events, and it is not the first time that the draft has been held.
Next, except for a few princes and clan children who occasionally shook around, the show girls basically resumed their daily etiquette training, and even the final draft date was set, which was the eighth day of the second lunar month.
The families who are interested in getting the royal marriage through the guò draft have entered the final stage of activity, and in the summer resort, the show girls are working harder, and outside the villa, all kinds of exchanges must be in full swing.
However, just two days before the official draft, the Lu family suddenly sent someone over and picked up Lu Yunzhi and Lu Yunsheng.
It wasn't until Miss Qin Si hurriedly came over to inform her that Xia Xiaodong learned the news.
Miss Qin Si lived next to Lu Yunzhi, so she knew the situation more clearly, because she was in a hurry, her little face turned red, and she frowned and said, "I haven't heard that the show girl can pick it up in advance!" Unless you are no longer eligible to participate in the draft, it is not a sudden illness or something. This is also a precedent. ”
"Well, this is for you, Sister Yunzhi asked me to bring it to you." Miss Qin Si said and took out a purse from her sleeve.
Sure enough, it was the royal blue purse that Lu Yunzhi usually wore on his waist, probably in a hurry, the straps on the purse were broken, and the embroidered lotus petals were all hooked off a long silk to the nails.
Xia Xiaodong took it and opened it to take a look, and there was a folded piece of paper inside, and at a glance, it was...... A blank piece of paper.
"This ......?" Xia Xiaodong turned the paper over.
Or a blank slate.
"Huh?" Miss Qin Si also came over and hurriedly said, "I'll be here soon, but I haven't opened it yet." ”
Of course, Xia Xiaodong didn't suspect Miss Qin, and looked at the paper against the light, only to see the clue, and the word 'retreat' was drawn with her fingernails.
It seems that it was too hasty, and it was too late to use pen and paper.
Withdraw.
Of course, it means to let yourself find a way and retreat quickly.
Ma Dan, I have long wanted to retreat, and I have to retreat to leave. It's not like you won't be able to retreat.
"Sister Yunzhi, for what reason were they picked up?" The so-called can't quit, of course, is mainly aimed at the average show girl, like the girls of the Lu family, the draft is just a formality, and which one to marry is a game behind the scenes, if you really want to quit, there is naturally a way.
"I heard that it seems that the old lady of the Lu family suddenly became critically ill." Miss Qin Si hesitated to say a word, and immediately explained: "This is not necessarily, I didn't listen to it. ”
It can't be that Mrs. Lu is really critically ill at this time, right? Xia Xiaodong thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be. Not to mention that Mrs. Lu is quite strong, even if she is really critically ill, Lu Yunzhi has no reason to let herself quit.
There are really not many things that can make the Lu family panic, and even move out for the reason that Mrs. Lu is critically ill.
You must know that such an excuse is somewhat of a curse, who is willing to use it.
The sudden departure of Lu Yunzhi and Lu Yunsheng caused only a small ripple among the show girls, and most people understood this as the privilege of the Lu family - privilege is very common, and it is very logical to accept it - there are two major opponents missing.
The day of the draft is just around the corner, and even the uniform costume has been handed out. The routine training on the day before the draft was also cancelled, so that everyone could take care of their maintenance so that they could present their best condition in front of the emperor.
Xia Xiaodong tried to find Grandma Zhou. This Grandma Zhou is her own person who has been fed by the Lu family, and she has always taken good care of the Lu family sisters and Xia Xiaodong.
It's just that Grandma Zhou's eyes are also black, and she is even more anxious than Xia Xiaodong - the Lu family sisters are the ones she helped let go, if something really happens to the Lu family, no one will investigate it, if you really want to investigate, maybe Grandma Zhou will also be implicated.
Even if he is not implicated, without the support of the Lu family in the future, his life will not be as good as it is now.
"It should be something in the palace." Grandma Zhou said suspiciously: "But everything is fine outside, what can happen in this palace?" ”
For the Lu family, 'palace' also means Queen Lu.
In the position of the queen, the role of furnishings is greater than that of the wife, and the political significance is greater than the practical significance. Empress Lu has been married since the emperor was still a prince, and now she has been sitting firmly on the throne for more than ten years, and it is difficult to imagine what will happen without external influence.
……
……
Xia Xiaodong looked in the mirror and drew a regular 'ugly makeup' quite seriously, that is, it looked like the skin was slightly yellow, and the facial features were slightly asymmetrical, and then formed a makeup with a great color reduction effect.
Then he went out for a walk.
Sitting in the city of sorrow will never solve the problem.
Xia Xiaodong thought all the way. Now, even if there is no reason to quit for a while, the worst outcome is just that.
One is to be selected by the emperor and become the little master of the palace. Since then, he has participated in palace fights during the day and accompanied the old man at night.
One is to be married. If Ning Junwu hadn't appeared in the past few days, and he was indeed moving behind the scenes, he might be directly accused of marrying, but it was difficult to say whether he was the main wife or the side concubine.
Then you will enter the life of participating in house fights during the day and being comforted by handsome guys at night - it seems to be better than the previous one.
If Ning Junwu's activities fail, or if other people's efforts are more successful, then he may also be assigned to marry another prince or a child of the clan.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaodong suddenly narrowed his eyes.
No, none of these are true.
The possible things that I thought of were all reasonable, even if I was not very happy and tried to avoid them, but in the eyes of many people, it was a good way out.
What's more, this is true whether Lu Yunzhi is there or not.
So, why did Lu Yunzhi deliberately think about letting himself quit in a hurry?
There must be some variables!
Xia Xiaodong's eyes widened suddenly, but he saw a man standing behind the bamboo fence.
The man was looking over with some interest, as if he was surprised to see her here.
The Nine Emperors.
