Chapter 110: Confession
Remembering that Jiang Xuan only called Mrs. Wu "madam", Lu Qingrong didn't feel that there was anything to worry about.
After that, Jiang Xuan said something about the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and Lu Qingrong listened very carefully until the voice on the other end of the screen gradually became weak and inaudible.
Lu Qingrong knew that Jiang Xuan was asleep.
It's just that from the beginning, she had a faint wonder in her heart.
After Jiang Xuan came back, he called her twice, and his voice was very soft, and she took it for granted that he was afraid of arguing her.
But when the two of them talked later, his voice was still not very different from the previous two days, and it seemed to give people a feeling of weakness.
Lu Qingrong thought to himself, could it be that there was something wrong with his body?
She wanted to go out and have a look.
Staring at the beaded curtains on both sides of the screen that did not move under the quiet candlelight, after hesitating for a long time, Lu Qingrong finally did not go out.
I didn't sleep well that night.
Early the next morning, Lu Qingrong deliberately got up early, thinking that he and Jiang Xuan had breakfast before recognizing their relatives.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's face, which was obviously much paler than before, also confirmed her guess last night.
I have heard a lot of rumors about Jiang Xuan's condition in the past, and the most common one is "sometimes good and sometimes bad", is there really any difficult disease? Lu Qingrong always felt that something was wrong.
"Why is your face so bad all of a sudden?" Looking at Jiang Xuan, who was sitting opposite, Lu Qingrong asked.
In fact, she originally wanted to ask him where he had been in the past two days, and why he hadn't recovered after a night's rest.
"Do you have a bad face?" Jiang Xuan smiled indifferently, casually picked up the bowl of red date fragrant rice porridge in front of him and ate a spoonful, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night!" It's not as cold as winter now, and the quilt is a little thicker, so you can go back and ask someone to change the bed to be thinner. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qingrong glanced at the green bamboo next to him, and the green bamboo hurriedly went out to do something.
And Lu Qingrong naturally didn't believe Jiang Xuan's words, yesterday he was obviously a little weak as soon as he came back, and the so-called quilt was too thick and didn't sleep well was an excuse at all.
Thinking that from last night to now, Jiang Xuan didn't say a word about where he had been in the past two days, obviously because he didn't want to let himself know.
At this moment, in the face of his own question, he was at least willing to make up a reason, regardless of the credibility for the time being, at least he did not refuse to communicate with himself.
It has been three days since they got married, and although he was not in Yuyuan for two days, the atmosphere was quite harmonious in the few conversations between the two. Although Jiang Xuan's attitude is still often unpredictable, compared to when she went to the Lu Mansion in disguise to persuade her to retreat, she can obviously feel that the feeling of resistance is much lighter.
That's a pretty good way to get along, right?
Lu Qingrong pondered to himself.
To be sure, it's impossible for anyone to be completely open to strangers so quickly, and it's a good start to be able to get along with each other with less resistance and peace of mind as we do now.
"How do I see such a maid going back and forth around you?" Jiang Xuan's question pulled Lu Qingrong back from Fang Cai's thoughts.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Qingrong realized that he was referring to the green bamboo that had just gone out.
Does everyone want to be like him and be in a crowd?
I slandered in my heart, but I couldn't say that on my lips. Lu Qingrong instinctively didn't want to be too close to him.
"Not really. In addition to Luzhu, there are also four maids who followed me to marry. Lu Qingrong explained, "It's just that I'm not used to them always dangling in front of me, and I rarely call them to come to me when I'm fine." ”
Jiang Xuan remembered that she had said before that she never let the maid be on duty at night, and she had some understanding in her heart.
"Why haven't you seen Mother Cao these days?" Lu Qingrong asked suddenly.
As the housekeeper mother of Yuyuan, she hasn't seen Cao's mother show up these days, and she is also a little puzzled in her heart.
"Something happened to her family, and I asked her to go back to cooking these days." Jiang Xuan stood up as he spoke, "I'll go to the study first, and I'll recognize my relatives at the right time, and you can go and find me after you have eaten." ”
Lu Qingrong looked at his departing back, thinking that he hadn't asked yet.
Just now, I wanted to ask him what was going on with the maids in the house.
In the past few days, Luzhu and Ye's mother have also learned a lot about the situation, the dozen or so maids of Cailian, Caimei and Begonia are all sent to Yuyuan by Mrs. Wu in various names in recent years, and their duties are all to "serve Jiang Xuan", and there are no specific errands to do.
Lu Qingrong wanted to ask Jiang Xuan, what was going on with these maids, if so...... Don't stay in Yuyuan so unknowingly, open your face when you need to.
Lu Qingrong's feelings for Jiang Xuan are a little complicated now.
After coming to the Great Qi Dynasty for more than ten years, she understands the social status quo of male superiority and female inferiority here, and also knows that in a noble family such as the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, it is really fresh that there is no concubine to have a room.
But at this time, I had the idea of opening my face to the maid, not because of this.
Lu Qingrong is easy-going on the surface, but he has always had his own insistence in his heart.
As a modern person, she has never changed her view of love.
And the problem now is that she and Jiang Xuan's kind of happy marriage makes it difficult for her to have a sense of substitution for "being a wife", and Jiang Xuan at this moment is more like a colleague who needs mutual respect or a friend who gets along harmoniously.
So when I thought of the matter of opening a room for him, instead of feeling sad, it seemed that I could make myself more down-to-earth.
Let's find a time to talk to him about this, Lu Qingrong made up his mind.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Qingrong called Luzhu in to help him change his clothes.
Today, you still have to dress festively.
Change into a rose-colored engraved silk ruyi pattern makeup gown, which is a light pink bamboo pattern stand-up collar middle shirt with a heald skirt of the same color. The hair was pulled into a Lingyun bun, and he originally only wore a set of slightly simple pearl heads, and before going out, he asked Luzhu to find a few more high-quality Nanzhu hairpins and bead flowers to insert together, and his two hands were not empty, and they each wore a gold-inlaid jade jade bracelet, which could be used as a meeting gift when needed.
In the end, he was still worried that he was not enough, and he also brought a few purses with gold bills on his body, and then went to the study to find Jiang Xuan.
When Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan came to Jingchun Hall, it was just the first moment.
Mrs. Wu, who was already waiting for Jingchun Hall, was slightly stunned at first when she saw that the two of them had come so early.
When she saw Jiang Xuan, whose face was a little weak, and Lu Qingrong, who was slightly tired on the side, the corners of Mrs. Wu's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Why did you come here so early? I don't start to recognize my relatives until I am right! Mrs. Wu smiled.
Jiang Xuan just smiled slightly and did not speak.
Seeing this, Lu Qingrong had no choice but to respond: "It's not good to let the relatives wait, it's just a little early." ”
"You guys go to the back of the flower hall and wait for a while, according to the rules, you can only come out when the relatives are all in the room." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Xuan to the back of the flower hall and waited.
When the time came, a maid in front of them came on time to invite them over.
The relatives who came to recognize their relatives today are not much different from what Jiang Xuan said yesterday.
The two uncles of the Zhenbei General's Mansion came.
"This is the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt." Jiang Xuan first led Lu Qingrong to Jiang Yuanzhao.
"Uncle, aunt." Lu Qingrong saluted, and then raised his head slightly and looked forward.
I saw that the person in front of me had not changed much compared with more than ten years ago, and his eyebrows were still like ink paintings, his eyes were like stars, and his face was very similar to that of Mrs. Jiang, but there was a little more gray hair in his hair, and there was a little more vicissitudes of life than when Deshengmen triumphed.
Standing next to Jiang Yuanzhao, the one he called his eldest aunt was the wife of General Zhenbei, Tang.
Mrs. Tang was born in the Yanguo Mansion, and is the sister of the current Yanguo Gong, although she looks more than forty years old, but standing next to the heroic Jiang Yuanzhao is not limited to gloom, wearing a stone blue bottom carved silk plain makeup gown, a lake-colored skirt, and her hair is combed into a fallen horse bun.
Seeing that Lu Qingrong finished saluting, Jiang Yuanzhao just stood in place and looked at her with a smile and a slight chin.
And Mrs. Tang smiled and withdrew a pair of all-green jade jade bracelets in her hand, and personally helped Lu Qingrong put them on, only to see that the jadeite was extremely transparent, and the whole body was turquoise, and it could feel that it was worth a lot of money just by looking at it.
After thanking his eldest aunt, Lu Qingrong followed Jiang Xuan and continued to walk forward.
"This is the second uncle and the second aunt." Jiang Xuan continued.
The second uncle Jiang Yuanchang looks much rougher, which is completely different from Jiang Yuanzhao.
On the side, the second aunt Song, looks a little familiar, and she looks a little similar to Song Miaoxue in the women's school.
Lu Qingrong then remembered that Jiang Xuan had mentioned to her yesterday that her second aunt Song was born in the Chengping Hou Mansion, so she should be regarded as Song Miaoxue's aunt, so it seems that Song Miaoxue's appearance is not very similar to her mother, the second lady of the Chengping Hou Mansion, but she followed this aunt.
When Lu Qingrong received the pair of red gold silk bracelets given by his second aunt, he felt that his hand was slightly lighter, and he knew that it was definitely not a solid thing, but I am afraid that only he who held it in his hand knew.
Lu Qingrong also thanked his second aunt with a smile.
Two more steps, in front of him were two slim girls, looking very similar to their own age.
These should be the two cousins mentioned by Jiang Xuan, Lu Qingrong thought to himself.
"This is the eldest cousin and the second cousin." Jiang Xuan's voice in his ears remembered in time.
Seeing each other and saluting each other, Lu Qingrong hurriedly took off the two Nanzhu hairpins in the middle of the hair and gave them to the two of them.
"Thank you, cousin." The two thanked each other in unison.
It's just that when the second cousin spoke, she looked at Jiang Xuan casually, and it took a long time before she withdrew her gaze.
Lu Qingrong also followed that gaze, and saw that Jiang Xuan's face was as usual, and the smile on his lips had not changed.
Just when Lu Qingrong was about to follow Jiang Xuan to the people on An Lehou's side, Jing Yuanhou, who had been sitting on the main seat, suddenly moved. RS
