Chapter 14: Xu Lang apologizes
The first day of the first lunar month is the day of New Year's greetings.
The Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Menghualu" describes Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty: "On the first day of October, the Kaifeng Mansion released the customs for three days, and the Shishu congratulated each other since the morning. ”
Ruyi wore clothes embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and accompanied Lu Ziqian to entertain guests in the main hall of the Lu Mansion.
The Lu family is now quite stormy, although Fu Ruyi, who is in the inner house, can't feel it, but the change has indeed happened.
For example, as an elder, Lu Er's old man ran around for days, and after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he didn't rest for a moment, so he hurried back to the capital, striving to pay New Year's respects everywhere before the end of the lunar month, and fight for some chips for the Lu family.
For example, Fu Ruyi, a woman in the house, wants to receive a foreign man from the capital with Lu Ziqian.
The Lu family is now making enough postures and lowering their figures.
said that it was a New Year's greeting, but now most of the people who come to the Lu family are subordinates of the Lu faction in the army.
The clan gate valve mostly sent a housekeeper to do something.
Ruyi was clumsy, and only followed Lu Ziqian with a smiling face.
In the afternoon, the guests gradually became scarce, and Ruyi and Lu Ziqian were finally able to take a breath.
Lu Ziqian crouched on the back of Ruyi's chair, massaging Ruyi's shoulders lightly and heavily, Ruyi closed his eyes, and enjoyed this floating life with peace of mind for half a day.
Chun Tao was sent to guard the door, leaving the couple to whisper in the house.
Lu Ziqian's hand strength was neither light nor heavy, and he hummed comfortably, "Lu nerd, I haven't asked you yet, the rumors ......"
Lu Ziqian said, "The second uncle and I said that it was to purchase New Year's goods, but in fact, we secretly visited, but the Lu family is a strong army with many allies and many political enemies. ”
Ruyi was taken aback, and motioned to Lu Ziqian to stop, "Then ...... say so"
Lu Ziqian shook his head, "It's hard to say, the second uncle and I both know that someone is behind the deliberate action, I'm afraid that there is another group of people secretly fueling the trouble, it doesn't matter how outsiders look at this, the key is whether the emperor believes it or not." ”
Lu Ziqian paused, his face embarrassed.
Ruyi was fascinated when he heard it, and when he saw Lu Ziqian stopping, he glanced at him, "If you have something to say, no one else is there." ”
Lu Ziqian's heart was sweet when he heard it, and he took Ruyi's hand and said, "We reacted a little slower, I think the emperor knew about this rumor a long time ago, and after believing it a little, he forced the Lu family to withdraw from the relationship with Tang Shangshu." ”
Ruyi let out an 'oh', then pulled out the hand that was held by Lu Ziqian, and twisted his ear, "Lu nerd, you're a pity, aren't you?" ”
Lu Ziqian glared, "Fu Ruyi, where did you see me, it's a pity?" It's unreasonable! ”
Ruyi hooked Lu Ziqian's chin, "I'm rude and unreasonable, how are you doing?" ”
Lu Ziqian immediately blushed, "You...... It's so shameless! ”
Ruyi laughed a few times, caught a glimpse of no one left and right, and quickly chirped on Lu Ziqian's mouth.
Before Lu Ziqian could react, Chun Tao whispered outside, "The eldest prince of Zhennan Xufu has come to pay New Year's greetings." ”
Ruyi took Lu Ziqian's hand, "Let's go, let's go, who is this eldest son of Xufu?" ……”
Lu Ziqian followed behind with a red face, like a little daughter-in-law.
The two of them greeted the door of the house, and Ruyi was a little dumbfounded when they saw someone coming.
Long and jade, white clothes are better than snow, who is not Xu Lang?
Lu Ziqian quickly dragged Ruyi behind him, hugged his fists and saluted Xu Lang, "Young Master Xu, you are polite." ”
However, after more than a month, Xu Lang lost a lot of weight, and his expression was gloomy.
Fu Ruyi watched from behind, his heart ached, and he almost burst into tears.
If she was really Fu Ruyi, she would be so sad at this time.
Fu Ruyi looked at Lu Ziqian, who was tightly protecting her behind her, smiled slightly, and pulled the hem of Lu Ziqian's clothes, "Ziqian, let's invite Xu Gongzi to the main hall." ”
Lu Ziqian looked back and smiled, his eyes warm, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
Xu Lang followed Ruyi and Lu Ziqian back to the main hall.
There was still some messiness in the hall after the two of them frolicked.
The two fine mahogany chairs were tightly placed together, stinging Xu Lang's eyes.
Chun Tao removed the cold tea and re-served the pot of Longjing before the rain, and the tea fragrance overflowed.
Xu Lang finally opened his mouth, "Xu came this time, first, to pay New Year's greetings to the Lu family, and secondly, to ...... apologized for Xu's rudeness on the street that day. Three for...... Congratulations to the two of you...... The joy of the newlyweds. ”
Ruyi tugged at the clothes in her heart, and she couldn't breathe in pain.
Lu Ziqian ignored Xu Lang's presence, hurriedly shook Ruyi's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Lady, are you okay?" ”
Ruyi had tears in her eyes, shook her head and whispered, "I can't see Xu Lang, let me go back, I don't have the strength." ”
Lu Ziqian nodded, "Okay, let's not see you, let's go back, lady...... Don't be upset. ”
Saying that, Lu Ziqian picked up Ruyi, and said to Xu Lang, who was anxious, "Xu Gongzi, don't worry, Neizi is in poor health, please stay for a while, and go back when you go down." ”
Xu Lang nodded, seeing Ruyi leaning into Lu Ziqian's arms, getting farther and farther away.
Without saying anything all the way, Lu Ziqian sent Ruyi back to Mantangyuan.
Chun Tao waited for Ruyi to lie down, Lu Ziqian stood in front of the bed, moved his lips, and then didn't say anything, then turned around and walked out.
Ruyi said in a low voice, "Ziqian, you believe me." ”
Lu Ziqian didn't look back, and lowered his voice, "...... I believe. ”
After hesitating, Ruyi sighed, "I'll talk about it when I come back." You go first. ”
Lu Ziqian nodded and returned to the main hall.
Xu Lang was pacing at the door, and when he saw Lu Ziqian coming back, he hurriedly greeted "Xiaoyi ......"
Lu Ziqian interrupted Xu Lang in a loud voice: "It's Mrs. Lu!" Xu Gongzi, please respect Uchiko! ”
Xu Lang whispered, "Mrs. Lu...... What's going on? ”
Lu Ziqian stretched out his hand, "Young Master Xu, please take a seat, I think it is necessary for us to talk." ”――
、
Fu Ruyi, who was lying in the room, tossed and turned.
Why is it that every time I see Xu Lang, my heart is like a knife, is it possible that Fu Ruyi's soul is still here?
Ruyi touched his chest and felt creepy.
However, the most anxious person for Ruyi at the moment is Lu Ziqian.
Sleeping together on a couch for three months, how could she not know Lu Ziqian.
In terms of feelings, Lu Ziqian is really like a blank piece of paper, clean and sincere.
But the more such feelings are, the more they can't stand the suspicion.
Ruyi hugged the quilt and waited anxiously for Lu Ziqian.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the main hall, Lu Ziqian frowned, looked at Xu Lang and said, "Master Xu, no matter what kind of entanglement you and Neiko have in the past, Ruyi is already my wife, so I can't afford to be coveted by foreign men!" ”
Xu Lang also glared angrily, "Brother Lu! It's your family that robbed Xiaoyi! The two of us are in love...... However, your Lu family oppresses people with power, how dare she disobey! ”
Hit it off.
Lu Ziqian snorted coldly: "But the person who married Ruyi Baitang is me!" What about Xu Gongzi? Walk with wishful thinking? ”
Xu Lang was speechless.
The wood is already in the boat, and he is powerless to change.
Lu Ziqian watched Xu Lang bury his face in his hands, desperate and painful, but there was no trace of victory and happiness in his heart.
Fu Ruyi, who does she like......
The feelings of childhood sweethearts, really said to let go, can be put down?
Seeing off Xu Lang, Lu Ziqian walked in the courtyard, watching the sunset set, only to feel that the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier.
