Chapter 188: No Return
"He's the only one?" Lu Qingrong asked Luzhu.
"Yes, only Jiang Gongzi is alone." Luzhu said.
Lu Qingrong couldn't think of why Jiang Ling would appear in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion at this time, not to mention that he should have been in Mobei at this time, even if he came back and came to the Hou Mansion as a guest, he should be taken by Sun Yiming, how could he be alone?
Seeing Lu Qingrong's doubts, Lu Zhu then added: "I heard Mo Nan say that it was Gongzi Jiang who came to visit the prince of the world, as if he had just arrived in the capital. ”
"Xu is there something urgent...... Lu Qingrong had no clue in his heart, Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan didn't know each other, even if Sun Yiming wanted to send a letter or something, there was no need to send him over, "You go to the study to see if he's gone!" ”
The green bamboo went in response.
After a long time, Luzhu came back: "Madam, Jiang Gongzi has already left, and it is said that he has only been in the study for less than an hour in total, but ...... The prince also followed him out of the house. ”
Lu Zhu has been by Lu Qingrong's side since he was a child, and he also knows a little about Jiang Ling's thoughts, and his intuition tells her that it is always a little inappropriate for Jiang Ling and Shi Ziye to be together.
Lu Qingrong also has some such thoughts.
Whenever the name Jiang Ling was mentioned, Jiang Xuan was always a little abnormal, although after each time, she made her relationship with Jiang Xuan a step further, but she couldn't help but be a little worried......
This time, however, it was clear that something had happened. Just now, I wanted to wait for Jiang Ling to leave, and ask Jiang Xuan to come back. In this case, we can only wait for him to come back.
It's just that she waits left and right until the hour. It was dark, and Jiang Xuan still didn't come back.
Lu Qingrong had no choice but to go to Jingchun Hall alone.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone in the Hou Mansion has a family banquet in Jingchun Hall.
Thinking that Jiang Xuan could rush back to the banquet, Lu Qingrong waited in the Yu Courtyard for a while, so when she came to Jingchun Hall, Marquis Jingyuan, Mrs. Wu, Jiang Ke and Qiu Jinting were already seated in the flower hall.
Mrs. Wu was originally a little unhappy because of Lu Qingrong's tardiness, but when she saw her, she came alone. Suddenly changed to a smiling face. Jiang Xuan finally got tired of it...... Mrs. Wu said secretly.
Lu Qingrong even felt that this was his own delusion, since she married into the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wu's smile today should be the most exaggerated.
"Why didn't the prince come?" Qiu Jintingjiao asked with a smile. He also turned his head to look at the door.
It seems that Mrs. Wu is not the only one who is happy.
"The prince has something to do and is out of the house, and he really can't come back, so let me confess to everyone on my behalf." Lu Qingrong said, but only at Marquis Jingyuan and his wife.
The spirit of Marquis Jingyuan today seems to be worse than that of the day when he worshiped his ancestors. Sit on the rosewood Taishi chair. There was also a small cushion on the back, and when I heard that Jiang Xuan didn't come, there was almost no reaction.
Lu Qingrong also noticed that only Aunt Wei was waiting beside Marquis Jingyuan today, and she didn't see Aunt Chen.
"Although Shizi's body has improved greatly, it's better to be careful, don't let him work too hard." Mrs. Wu put on the tone of an elder and cared about Jiang Xuanlai. "When you go out to a banquet or drink a drink, you have to do it in moderation. Even if you don't care about your body, it's always bad to lose your mind. ”
After finishing speaking, he actually felt that Jiang Xuan's absence today must be because he went out to have a good time.
Lu Qingrong couldn't understand why she was so sure, but she didn't want to argue with her, so she just replied "I know" and didn't say anything more.
In the process of eating later, Mrs. Wu instructed her several times, all of which were nothing more than words to make Jiang Xuan pay attention to her body.
After all, Marquis Jingyuan's spirit was not good, and the family banquet did not last long, although Mrs. Wu and Qiu Jinting were in a better mood inexplicably, they still dispersed after about half an hour.
Lu Qingrong felt that this half an hour had passed extraordinarily long.
It's not that I'm affected by Mrs. Wu's meaningful words, I'm just worried about Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling, and I don't know what happened to them.
Lu Qingrong hurried back to Yuyuan, but Jiang Xuan hadn't come back yet.
It wasn't until the second watch day later that she became a little drowsy, Jiang Xuan still didn't return, but just asked the little girl to come back with a message, telling Lu Qingrong not to wait for him.
Although she received the message, she still persevered for more than half an hour before she was finally defeated by the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep......
Early the next morning, Lu Qingrong got up earlier than any other day, and before he had time to change his clothes, he walked outside first to take a look.
Jiang Xuan's bed was the same as last night, and it seemed that he hadn't come back all night.
Lu Qingrong couldn't remember the last time this happened. At least he sent someone back yesterday to carry a message, which can be regarded as different......
After freshening up and changing clothes, and having breakfast listlessly, Lu Qingrong was invited to Qinyi Courtyard by Mrs. Wu again.
He Qingwan is here.
Whether it is her identity or her character and temperament, Lu Qingrong has no good feelings, especially when she is not in a good mood today, and she has no good face.
It's just that as the wife of the prince of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, she still has to get by on face, even if she is not a guest invited by herself, Lu Qingrong still treats her with the same courtesy.
But He Qingwan's visit to the Hou Mansion this time was a little different from the past.
In Lu Qingrong's impression, when he thought of He Qingwan, he looked cowering and cautious.
However, at this time, He Qingwan was dressed in a moon-white embroidered lotus Hangzhou silk gown, a peach-colored skirt, her hair was combed in a dignified and decent manner, and she only wore a white magnolia hairpin, standing there looking particularly dignified.
A picture flashed in Lu Qingrong's mind, it was Qiu Muyun when he was young......
This is not the first time He Qingwan has come to the Hou Mansion, and she has followed Qiu Muyun to the banquet in the past, I don't know if it is because of this, so she does not have too much restraint, but is very indifferent.
"You should have been familiar with it before, so I won't introduce it!" Mrs. Wu faced Lu Qingrong and said with a smile: "I also mentioned it to you yesterday, this is the method of divination given by the monks, Miss He came to us as a guest, and it is also for Jinting and the child in her belly, it is considered to be kind to us, you don't neglect others!" ”
Lu Qingrong nodded yes, but he was slandering in his heart, it was rare for Mrs. Wu to be able to tell such a ridiculous statement so high-sounding.
Fortunately, He Qingwan is going to Fengyuan, which has nothing to do with him, Lu Qingrong thought to himself.
Yesterday, when she got the news, she had already instructed Luzhu to tell the maids and ladies in the Yuyuan Courtyard to minimize her contact with Fengyuan during this time. It always hurts to be careful.
When Qiu Jinting saw He Qingwan, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, when He Qing followed her like a shadow, she didn't feel much of it, but now that she suddenly hasn't seen her for so many days, she has found that she has really done a lot of things for herself on weekdays, and she has also come up with a lot of ideas, which is obviously much more useful than that Mu Ne's Xiangqiao!
Therefore, as soon as He Qingwan entered the door today, she was pulled over for a while.
What I feel on weekdays is Qiu Jinting's command, but being treated so warmly by her suddenly makes He Qingwan very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she was still a little prepared, and when Qiu Jinting finally finished her verbosity, she hurriedly greeted Mrs. Wu politely, and then turned to Lu Qingrong's side.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Mrs. Shizi!" He Qingwan said in a familiar tone, "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to come to the Hou Mansion as a guest, it seems that I really have a good relationship with you!" ”
"It's fate." Lu Qingrong didn't deny it, but fate was also good and bad.
"Qingwan misses Mrs. Shizi very much, it's rare to be so close now, I don't know if I can go to the Yuyuan to sit and sit from time to time, even if it can help you relieve your boredom!" He Qingwan didn't see anything outside.
Even the courtyard where he lived came with his mouth open, and this He Qingwan really came prepared.
"Miss He, don't be weird, it's definitely not that I don't welcome you, it's just ......" Lu Qingrong looked very embarrassed.
He Qingwan stared at Lu Qingrong with good eyes, looking extremely innocent, as if he insisted on waiting for her statement.
Mrs. Wu was also silent, and she didn't look like she was helping Lu Qingrong out of the siege, obviously looking like she was watching a play.
Lu Qingrong smiled: "It's just that Miss He should not forget why she lived in the Hou Mansion." If it's just to play, don't say it's the Yuyuan, any place in the Hou Mansion should be welcome, but ...... For the sake of the safety of the county lord, I advise Miss He not to walk around! After all, the senior monk also said that the county lord must be accompanied by you during pregnancy in order to survive the catastrophe, and I hope that Miss He will not be too willful, and the county lord and the child in her womb must not have any differences......"
Ignoring He Qingwan's increasingly blushing face, Lu Qingrong turned his head to look at Mrs. Wu: "What do you say, madam?" ”
"Of course...... Every qiē must be based on the safety of Jinting. Mrs. Wu had no choice but to express her position.
He Qingwan was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't dare to express half a point, and respectfully admitted her mistake to Mrs. Wu, saying that she would definitely take care of Qiu Jinting.
Qiu Jinting didn't have any unhappiness, it didn't matter to herself, she just felt impatient, and said that she was a little tired, so she took He Qingwan back to Fengyuan.
Lu Qingrong followed and left Qinyi Courtyard and went back to Yu Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Xuan, who I hadn't seen for a day, sitting in the hall drinking tea at this time, as if he had been thirsty for a long time.
Lu Qingrong noticed that he was still wearing the same robe he was wearing when he went out yesterday, and his face was haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.
After staring at him for a moment, Lu Qingrong slowly opened his mouth: "Have you had breakfast?" Do you want someone to set the meal first, or do you want to take a shower first? ”
Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he was instantly relieved, in his memory, Lu Qingrong seemed to have never asked him about his affairs.
"Jiang Ling came back yesterday." Jiang Xuan didn't answer Lu Qingrong's question, "It's not just him, Lord Sun Yiming has also returned to Beijing, and he also takes Jiang Meng, who is seriously injured." ”
"Who?"
"Uncle's son."
Lu Qingrong reacted, this is talking about the eldest cousin who has trained in the Mobei Army. (To be continued......) R1292
