Chapter 66: Mind
Lu Qingrong heard that Yin Pingru was going to start taking charge of the family, and was falling into deep thought alone.
Suddenly, Lu Manyu came over and tugged on her sleeve, and whispered, "What do you think is wrong with the second sister today?" ”
Lu Manyu pointed to Lu Qianyu, and her tone was very puzzled.
Lu Qingrong followed her fingers and looked over, only to see that Lu Qianyu was sitting next to Lu Chengjie at the moment, talking to him.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Lu Qingrong didn't understand too much this time.
"Is this normal?" Lu Manyu's voice suddenly raised, "Just now, she kept pulling the eldest sister to discuss the Analects, and the eldest sister's expression was not quite right, and now she is running to the eldest brother's side, and she is concerned about the eldest brother's going to study in the school today." ”
Looking at Lu Manyu's confused look in front of him, Lu Qingrong knew a little in his heart, what Lu Qianyu really cared about was probably not how the eldest brother was in the school.
At this time, I happened to hear Lu Chengjie say to Lu Qianyu: "Yes, from tomorrow, Jiang Ling will go to Yin's Mansion with me to study." In fact, he was already in class with me and Zihao today. ”
"Didn't you say that Mr. Chu was particularly strict in accepting students?" Lu Qianyu asked.
"That's right, I heard my father say that Mr. has rejected many people." Lu Chengjie thought of the situation in today's school, "But Mr. seems to be very satisfied with Jiang Ling, and he also praised him for his 'talent and intelligence, and he has seen people', this is the first time I have heard Mr. praise someone like this!" ”
Lu Chengjie's face was a little ashamed, but he was also very happy for Jiang Ling.
Lu Qianyu next to her had an even more proud expression.
And Lu Qingrong was thinking, it is estimated that Mr. Chu's good impression of Jiang Ling will not last long.
At the beginning, she wanted to audit Mr. Chu's class, but he refused on the grounds of "not accepting female students", so she felt that he was also a stereotypical and conservative person. She really wanted to see what Mr. Chu's expression would be when Jiang Ling asked those philosophical ultimate questions such as "where did we come from and where are we going?" in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but laugh because of his own narrowness.
And at this moment, Lu Yiduo and several of them walked out of the east room one after another.
The expressions of the three people in front of them were the same as usual, but Geng, who was walking at the back, looked absent-minded, as if he had begun to calculate the accounts in his heart.
Soon after everyone said goodbye to each other, they went back to the east and west courtyards separately.
Geng's side was hindered by the presence of children along the way, and he didn't speak.
When she returned to the West Courtyard, only she and Lu Yizhong were left, and then she complained: "Why didn't you help say a few words just now!" There are so many things in this family, and suddenly they said that they would hand it over, so they have to give more grace! ”
Lu Yizhong disagreed: "Just do your best, if the handover is really incomplete, can your mother and sister-in-law blame you?" ”
"If that's the case, it's not mine. Obviously, they were pushing too hard...... "Geng's tone was very displeased.
"Actually, this is the right thing to do, don't think too much about it." Lu Yizhong persuaded a little impatiently, "Besides, Sister Fang is about to start preparing for the dowry, and my mother is also for the sake of making it easier for my sister-in-law to act in the future." ”
Geng felt that he didn't understand what he meant at all.
She has been in charge of the Lu family for more than ten years, and she thinks that she is conscientious and hardworking, and of course the benefits are not less......
Mrs. Tai cherishes Lu Yizhong and turns a blind eye to her, so over the years, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of confused accounts, which can be straightened out in ten days and a half months?
Lu Yizhong stopped speaking, turned around and walked towards the study, leaving Geng alone in the room.
Geng naturally couldn't figure out what to do, and only hoped that Yin Pingru wouldn't be too serious with her in the accounts......
At this time, in the Wisteria Pavilion in the East Courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Qingrong and the others had just returned.
The three sisters were talking in the hall downstairs, and Yin Pingru came over to find Lu Fangyu.
The two went upstairs to Lu Fangyu's house.
Lu Qianyu finally regained her previous liveliness downstairs, and pulled Lu Qingrong to guess: "What do you say my mother is doing when she comes to find the eldest sister so late?" Is the eldest sister's family affair eyebrows? ”
The more Lu Qianyu spoke, the quieter her voice became.
Lu Qingrong was deeply admired, but she didn't expect her to guess it. But it's understandable to think about it, after all, Yin Pingru had considered Jiang Ling before, I'm afraid she has been hanging about it.
"Well, it's quite possible." Lu Qingrong nodded, but didn't say more.
After nearly an hour, Lu Fangyu sent Yin Pingru downstairs.
Seeing that the flush on Lu Fangyu's face spread directly to the root of her ears, Lu Qianyu, who had been waiting downstairs, said, "Why is the eldest sister's face so red?" ”
Lu Fangyu bowed her head and was silent when she heard this.
Yin Pingru didn't mean to hide it from them, and said thoughtfully: "In the future, your eldest sister will start embroidering dowry, and you can accompany her more when you don't go to school, don't disturb her progress." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qianyu was not shy at all, but was very excited, and asked directly: "Which son-in-law did my mother choose?" ”
Yin Pingru glanced at her with a smile, as if reminding her to be more reserved, but in the end she told them about Di Gongzi.
After listening to this, Lu Qianyu's heart finally settled down.
As soon as Yin Pingru left the Wisteria Pavilion, she jumped upstairs and went to sleep.
Lu Qingrong looked at her cheerful back, and was really a little worried about her......
The next day, because he didn't have to go to the girls' school, Lu Qingrong took Luzhu to the South Courtyard to find Jiang Yunpei after breakfast.
Originally, I thought that Jiang Shenzhi was going to go to the Hanlin Academy to repair books, and Jiang Ling was going to go to Yin's Mansion to take classes, so Jiang Yunpei should be left in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the South Courtyard, she saw Jiang Ling, who was standing alone next to the peach tree in the courtyard, with her back to her at the moment.
Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is Sister Jiang here?" ”
Jiang Ling wore a moon-white silk forging robe today, his hair seemed loose, but he was also tied up on his head in a regular manner, and he only wore a green hosta, which matched the color of his clothes very well.
Hearing Lu Qingrong's voice, he slowly turned around, as if he had been thinking for a long time, before he spoke: "You are late, she was called away by others." ”
"By whom?" Lu Qingrong didn't expect that besides himself, there would be anyone else in the Lu Mansion who would come to Jiang Yunpei so early.
"Forget." Jiang Ling replied without thinking about it this time.
Forgot? Of course, Lu Qingrong didn't believe it, but he was also accustomed to his attitude.
Jiang Ling explained uncharacteristically: "Not everyone and everything needs to be kept in mind, and when you forget it, you will forget it." ”
Lu Qingrong didn't seem to understand, but he didn't want to continue the topic.
"Why didn't you go to the Yin Mansion with your eldest brother to class?"
She suddenly remembered that Mr. Chu's class was not like their girls' school, where they fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and Lu Chengjie only had two or three days off a month.
"I don't want to go today." Jiang Ling's answer was concise and to the point.
Lu Qingrong hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth: "It's not easy to be accepted as a student by Mr. Chu, you have to cherish it." ”
Seeing that the little girl in front of him, who was a head shorter, actually preached to herself, Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "Hmm." ”
thought that he would be refuted or even ignored, but his "um" made Lu Qingrong stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the green bamboo on the side gently touched her arm.
Lu Qingrong also realized that it didn't seem good to stand here with Jiang Ling alone like this.
Fortunately, the conversation was over, and she turned to leave.
"Wait." Jiang Ling said softly, then walked to the stone table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side, took a piece of paper full of words on it and walked over, and handed it to Lu Qingrong.
Lu Qingrong was a little dazed for a moment, and did not take it immediately.
"Take me back to her, don't make an example." Jiang Ling's tone was very cold.
Lu Qingrong hurriedly took it and took a look.
It turned out to be an article about the experience of the benevolent chapter in the "Analects", which is exactly the homework assigned by Mr. Zhen, a female student yesterday.
Lu Qingrong instantly understood, it seemed that the one who called Jiang Yunpei away early in the morning should be none other than Lu Qianyu.
It's just that I didn't expect Lu Qianyu to come up with such a stupid move.
Looking for Jiang Ling to be a gunman? It's a shame she figured it out.
In this way, what is the use of studying so seriously as hard as she did yesterday......
Lu Qingrong held the homework in his hand and wanted to say "thank you", but he felt that it was not appropriate, and stood there a little embarrassed for a while.
At this time, Jiang Ling waved his hand at her: "Go back and let her copy it yourself, I am not as interested as some people, and I still imitate her handwriting." ”
"Huh?"
Lu Qingrong didn't react at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was talking about himself.
In the past, whether it was in Henan or Wuchang, she used to be a gunner for Lu Qianyu, copying books and writing essays were commonplace, and over time, a set of fixed gunman fonts was formed.
In fact, he didn't imitate Lu Qianyu's handwriting, but deliberately made some differences from his original handwriting.
At this moment, to Lu Qingrong's surprise, Jiang Ling actually knew about it.
It is estimated that Jiang Yun admired her.
Lu Qingrong didn't think much about it, just nodded, took the homework, and hurriedly left the South Courtyard with Luzhu.
Out of the door of the South Courtyard, Lu Qingrong took the green bamboo and walked straight to the Wisteria Pavilion.
And the master and servant who walked away, if someone looked back, they could find that Jiang Ling was standing motionless by the peach tree at this time, looking at their departing backs very intently, knowing that they had disappeared around the corner in front of them, and they still did not retract their gaze......
Lu Qingrong was not really a child in his early tens, Jiang Ling just now made her feel strange in terms of words and expression, but this was only in her mind for a moment, and she did not delve into it.
As soon as she knew Lu Qianyu's intentions for Jiang Ling in her heart, then Jiang Ling naturally had already returned to the team that respected and stayed away.
Second, she felt that she was too young to think about these things so early.
But she never thought that she thought it was early, but others didn't think so.
The next day, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion came to the Lu Mansion again, and the purpose was the same as last time, or to talk about the matchmaker.
It's just that last time I was entrusted by the Anle Hou Mansion to tell Lu Yiduo about the matchmaker.
This time, it is the representative of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion. RS
