Chapter 241: Eve

Jiang Xuan's disappearance in Mobei has already spread silently in the circle of the official eunuchs in the capital.

To this day, there are few people who have not heard of it.

These days, Yuyuan is also a cloud.

Lu Qingrong wasn't too worried about the emperor's attitude.

On the day she came back from King Jing's Mansion, she later invited Sun Yiming to come over to the mansion, just to ask him something.

When she learned that Mr. Chu did not stay in the army, but was one of the people who disappeared with Jiang Xuan, she was a little relieved.

Coupled with the results of the emperor's temptation in King Jingfu...... Thinking of coming to the capital, Jiang Xuan should have no trouble for the time being.

The only thing to worry about now is the war situation in Mobei.

Lu Qingrong didn't think about tea and dinner for many days, he couldn't lift his spirits when he did things, and he was not in the mood to study the prescription.

On this day, Lu Qingrong finally couldn't hold back and went to Lu Mansion to hear the news.

Thinking that Lu Yiduo is also responsible for the supply of grain and grass in the Mobei Army, although he doesn't have to go to danger in person, he should always know more about that side than others.

When he came to the Lu Mansion, Lu Qingrong went to the main courtyard first as usual.

Mrs. Tai has aged very much lately, and although her consciousness is still clear, her eyes are becoming more and more difficult to see.

This time Lu Qingrong came over, and Mrs. Tai actually asked her, "Are you still used to living in the Yin family?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Qingrong reacted, this was thinking of himself as Lu Qianyu.

The maid beside Mrs. Tai hurriedly leaned over and reminded her in her ear.

Mrs. Tai suddenly came back to her senses and said a few words of gossip with Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong was inevitably absent-minded, and Mrs. Tai was also a little lacking in energy. So it didn't take long for her to leave the East Courtyard.

Lu Qingrong was prepared in advance, knowing that today was Lu Yiduo's rest.

Indeed, as she expected, she entered the hall of the East Courtyard and saw Yin Pingru and Lu Yiduo at the same time.

Since the news of Jiang Xuan's disappearance came, whether it was Lu Qingrong, Lu Yiduo and Yin Pingru, they all had a tacit understanding that they did not contact each other and deliberately kept their distance.

Lu Yiduo presided over the preparation and transportation of grain and grass by the military department, and had a special relationship with the Mobei War, and if Lu Qingrong had frequent contacts with Jiang Xuan when he was missing, it would not be beneficial to his father or Jiang Xuan.

Therefore, Lu Qingrong first said apologetically: "I shouldn't have come here...... But after these days, there was no news from Mobei, which really made me sleep. ”

Lu Yiduo waved his hand: "It's okay, you can't even let your mother's house go back!" You shouldn't worry too much either. In the past, when the army went on an expedition, there will be all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky, and the theory of victory and defeat changes day by day, so you don't have to pay attention to it. ”

"I understand that, too." Lu Qingrong said in a deep voice: "It's just that this time it's not all rumors, the disappearance of the prince is not out of nowhere......

Lu Qingrong didn't intend to hide it, and directly told the story of the clichΓ© he encountered in King Jing's Mansion, and also mentioned his own response.

Lu Yiduo and Yin Pingru listened to this, and their faces showed a look of surprise.

They really didn't expect the emperor to be suspicious of this, and they all felt afraid of Lu Qingrong, and at the same time they were pleased that she dealt with it properly.

At this time, Yin Pingru stared at Lu Qingrong, wanted to speak and stopped, and then turned his head to look at Lu Yiduo with a complicated expression.

Lu Yiduo deliberately did not respond to her gaze, and only said to Lu Qingrong with a slight reservation that as far as he knew, there was no news in Mobei that was unfavorable to the prince of Jingyuan. In the future, if you get the letter, you will immediately sue her.

Although this is a bit vague, it is better than hearing some bad news.

Lu Qingrong secretly comforted himself.

However, when Lu Qingrong gossiped with them for a while and left alone, Yin Pingru finally couldn't help it.

She asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say that there was news from Shizi?" Why don't you just sue Qingrong to save her anxiety. ”

Lu Yiduo sighed and shook his head: "The people who transported the grain and grass came back, and the description was reversed, one moment it was said that the prince had returned to the camp of the army, and the other time it was said that someone else had sent a message to let the army go to make peace with the prince...... That can be regarded as hearsay, without evidence, and it is not known whether it is privately spread falsely. How can we tell these rumors to Qingrong and let her follow her heart. What's more, from the first victory of the prince to the disappearance now, she has experienced a big ups and downs, if there is no definite news, don't bother her mind. ”

Yin Pingru understood what he meant, and felt that she was indeed too anxious.

But in her heart, she still preferred these rumors to be true......

After Lu Qingrong returned to the Hou Mansion, he went straight back to the Yu Courtyard.

She didn't know that at this time, on the shore of Houfujing Lake, it almost caused another tragedy.

Qiu Jinting stood by the lake in a daze for a long time.

Until the sound of the festive gongs and drums faded away, and finally no movement was heard at all.

As the voice disappeared, Qiu Jinting's heart seemed to explode.

The more memories I don't want to touch, the more they pour in like boiling water, burning my heart so much that it is about to burst.

The remorse for her past mistakes, the disappointment of Jiang Ke's indifferent attitude, and the self-blame for Brother Xiang'er's untimely death occupied all her emotions at this time, making her almost feel that she could no longer breathe.

Looking at the Jinghu Lake in front of her, under the illumination of the sun, the waves were sparkling, and she was extremely dizzy, and she unconsciously moved a few steps forward.

Although the maid beside her realized that something was wrong, she was afraid of Qiu Jinting's temper, and no one dared to step forward to stop her.

Fortunately, Xiangqiao took the cloak back at this time, and when she saw this scene, she immediately threw the cloak in her hand to the maid on the side, and reached out to pull Qiu Jinting back.

"Second grandma, but you have a heat stroke?" Xiangqiao also didn't dare to speak out.

It's a few days in autumn, where will I get heat stroke! Her words clearly do not stand up to scrutiny.

Qiu Jinting followed her and said, "Maybe! I was a little dizzy just now, so maybe it's good to sit down. ”

Qiu Jinting pointed to the stone bench on the shore.

Xiangqiao frowned, seemingly disagreeing.

She would never dare to let Qiu Jinting stay by the lake any longer.

In the end, she finally persuaded Qiu Jinting away.

Qiu Jinting insisted on refusing to take the car, and seeing that it was about to be dinner, he still walked back unhurriedly.

"Miss Cousin got married, we forgot to give a congratulatory gift, right?" Qiu Jinting asked coldly.

"Back to the second grandmother, the He Mansion didn't send us a wedding card." That's all Xiangqiao said.

"Why?" Qiu Jinting really didn't seem to understand.

"Maybe it's ......" Xiangqiao pretended to be confused, but in the end she couldn't help but say bluntly, "Maybe it's because I know that our Fengyuan was doing a funeral before, and it's taboo." ”

"Oh." Qiu Jinting paused for a while, "She and I have grown up together since childhood, this congratulatory gift still can't be saved, go back to our Fengyuan warehouse to have a look, and pick out a suitable thing." ”

Xiangqiao responded immediately, but she was a little embarrassed in her heart.

Qiu Jinting's sudden change in attitude towards He Qingwan, she saw it in her eyes, and at this moment, she suddenly wanted to send a congratulatory gift again, which made her a little confused, and she was thinking about finding a time to go to Yuyuan and ask, to see what Mrs. Shizi was sending, and it was like following it.

Xiangqiao thought that she knew the relationship between Lu Qingrong and He Qingwan, but she didn't know that Lu Qingrong didn't give anything at all......

However, as for Lu Qingrong's attitude, He Qingwan was already accustomed to it.

He Qingwan didn't expect to receive Lu Qingrong's congratulatory gift, but because of other things, she was disappointed.

For many years, He Qingwan has always had great hopes for her marriage, and she wants to take this opportunity to raise her eyebrows and completely change the embarrassing position in He Mansion for many years.

But this wedding banquet in the Chengping Marquis Mansion was completely different from what she imagined.

In the past, whenever a familiar person got married, she paid special attention to it. Although he was still in the boudoir at that time and could not attend the banquet in person, he had heard a lot of things from Qiu Muyun's bitter retelling.

Tang Yue's grand wedding, she didn't dare to think about it, after all, she married into the royal family.

But when she heard that when Lu Qingrong got married, the dowry, makeup, and wedding banquet were all envious of others, and she kept screaming in her heart.

Now that she knows that she can't surpass it, He Qingwan has always felt in her heart that even if she doesn't compare with Tang Yue, Lu Qingrong, and Qiu Jinting, the most unfortunate scene must be similar to Tang Shan's ordinary wife!

But I didn't want to, the wedding banquet in the evening of the Chengping Marquis Mansion could be so bleak.

Getting off the sedan chair, entering the house, and worshipping the church, the whole process is blocked by a hijab, and she can't see the scene all the way clearly, but the exceptionally quiet of the happy hall is that she can really feel it.

When he entered the new house, after some tossing, the moment Song Shixiang picked up the hijab, He Qingwan was even more shocked.

It's not because there are few female dependents in the new house, after all, she has gradually prepared in her heart all the way.

Rather, it was because she saw the half-new black lacquered wood furniture in the house.

He Qingwan's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, full of grievances, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

But the muttering in her heart never stopped.

Although the dowry of the He Mansion is not rich, it also includes a complete set of furniture, and someone was specially sent to measure the new house. Looking around at the moment, I didn't see a single one.

No matter how handsome Song Shixiang's appearance was, she couldn't let go of it.

He Qingwan couldn't help but always wanted to compare with Lu Qingrong, but in the matter of getting married, he fell behind everywhere, and it was difficult to balance in his heart.

She racked her brains, and could only think of one thing where Lu Qingrong was inferior to herself, that is, now the whereabouts of the Marquis of Jingyuan are unknown, and it is unknown whether he has already been killed by the Fanmeng people.

In her heart, she couldn't wait for Jiang Xuan to join the enemy, so Lu Qingrong didn't want to enjoy the glory in the capital anymore!

Thinking of this, He Qingwan finally felt a little happy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, a month later, the good news of Mobei's victory reached the capital.

Jiang Xuan defeated the Fanmeng army, captured the coach Sato alive, and was about to return to the dynasty in the near future. R1152
