Chapter 366: Breaking
In the spring, the hour of darkness is much later.
At the third moment of the first month, a halo of light can still be reflected in the west.
The Yuyuan has not yet been lit, but the inner room is very bright.
Lu Zhu led a group of maids, first set up an agarwood round table in the middle of the outer room, and then began to put food on it.
Jiang Xuan still held the book in his hand, ignoring the busyness of everyone in the room.
Lu Qingrong is a little strange.
They rarely eat in the inner room, and the last time was because they were injured a few days ago and it was inconvenient to move around, so they reluctantly agreed to eat a few times in the outer arhat bed.
Why is this happening?
Lu Qingrong first threw an inquiring look at the green bamboo.
Lu Zhu comprehended and hurriedly responded: "What the prince ordered, let me set the meal in the inner room." ”
Lu Qingrong looked sideways at Jiang Xuan, only to see a smile flashing on his lips, and then he disappeared.
The maids were busy for a while before they all retreated.
Lu Qingrong looked at the food on the table, and said that it was a "banquet", which is really not an exaggeration.
Steamed sea bass, Longjing shrimp, rouge duck breast, Dongpo elbow, wine-stuffed quail, winter bamboo shoots magnolia, crab roe tofu, rock sugar cheese......
There are many types, each of which is just a small stack, and the essence is taken.
This is in line with Lu Qingrong's meaning.
On weekdays, she always chatters, a large table of dishes, which is not only extravagant and wasteful, but also dizzy, making her lose her appetite when she looks at it.
Jiang Xuan was born in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he was used to seeing Zhong Ming's days of eating and flowers, so he couldn't understand Lu Qingrong's "waste". But she was so persistent. It doesn't hurt to rely on her.
When Lu Qingrong saw it, he couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his lips.
When Lu Zhu also retreated under Jiang Xuan's gaze, Lu Qingrong asked, "Why do you put the rice in the inner room?" ”
Jiang Xuan heard this. first pouted at the small white porcelain wine jug on the table, and said, "Isn't this afraid that you won't be able to drink enough!" Today, I am in Wangyulou, and I saw that you didn't touch a drop of wine, so I must be embarrassed to lose my dignity in front of people. ”
Lu Qingrong's lips pursed slightly, and he had to admit that this was indeed the case.
Thinking of Jiang Huijuan's various gaffes today, they were not all harmed by this intestinal poison.
Suddenly, Lu Qingrong realized. I don't seem to be qualified to talk about others.
On last year's birthday, Jiang Xuan's expedition was imminent, if he hadn't drunk wine at that time. I would never dare to be drunk, I had to have a round room with Jiang Xuan......
Lu Qingrong secretly thought in his heart, but he refused to admit it.
"Hengzhi is in his own home, where are there so many scruples!" Lu Qingrong pretended to be calm.
"Good, good!" Jiang Xuan didn't refute either. "It's not for you." It's for me! ”
Lu Qingrong thought he was cheating, so he urged his heart to get up, and asked: "Tell me, how can it be for you again?" ”
When Jiang Xuan heard this, his smile became even stronger, and he said, "You haven't seen yourself drunk before you ask this question." ”
Lu Qingrong raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he meant by this.
Jiang Xuan saw this. Afraid that she would think wrong, she said, "From now on." I am the only one who can see what you look like after you drink! ”
When he said this, Jiang Xuan's expression was very serious.
In Lu Qingrong's eyes, not to mention how childish he is. It was like a child defending his candy and would never share it with others.
Lu Qingrong had the heart to laugh at him, but thinking about what he was referring to, he was inevitably moved and couldn't open his mouth.
The two sat down at the table.
Jiang Xuan didn't guess wrong, for Lu Qingrong, being drunk by the maids and wives in Yuyuan was also unacceptable to her.
With this arrangement, Lu Qingrong really relaxed a lot.
The small pot of bamboo leaves on the table, after a short time, saw the bottom.
The maids had already prepared, and when the meal was served, they put aside the wine bottle of warm wine, and there were several wine jugs in it.
It's just that Jiang Xuan didn't do anything.
He didn't want Lu Qingrong to drink too much, so he had a drink, that is.
For this reason, he also went to the imperial doctor to ask if Lu Qingrong's recovery was okay with alcohol, and he was relieved that Doctor Xu was patting his chest and assuring that "it has long been fine".
Lu Qingrong didn't want to drink more, but today's birthday banquet at noon made her a little excited, although she was disgusted by Jiang Huijuan for a moment, but in general she was extremely happy.
Lu Qingrong stretched out his hand and took another pot of warm wine.
Seeing that Jiang Xuan's expression became a little weird, Lu Qingrong coughed lightly and said, "This is just a small pot, I'm afraid it won't even be two taels, not to mention, it's still the two of us to drink!" ”
Jiang Xuan was amused by her snatching white, and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything about you, you explained first!" ”
After speaking, Jiang Xuan raised his hand to take the wine jug in her hand and help her pour the wine.
Lu Qingrong was embarrassed, retracted his wrist, dodged his hand, and quickly filled the wine glass in front of the two.
This series of actions provoked Jiang Xuan to chuckle again.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingrong is still very sober.
"Be careful of your wounds, don't drink too much." Jiang Xuan said.
Lu Qingrong nodded and approved of his answer.
Just because of this, at this moment, she can't even talk about being slightly drunk.
When Lu Qingrong was no longer so sober, the questions she raised were not so easy to answer......
Three rounds of drinking.
Lu Qingrong was definitely not drunk, but he was already a little dizzy in front of him.
As a result, it is no longer possible to speak with the usual thoughtfulness.
If I had planned to put it in my heart earlier, I couldn't hold it anymore.
"The second cousin said, you hugged her, is it true?" Lu Qingrong asked suddenly.
If she hadn't been drinking, she would never have taken Jiang Huijuan's words out of context.
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was naturally shocked, and wondered where to start...... But he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing!" ”
Lu Qingrong propped his left elbow on the table and supported his cheek with his hand. looked directly at Jiang Xuan, blinked his eyes, and said, "Think about it again!" ”
A posture that I have to ask something.
Lu Qingrong at this time. Red clouds floated on his cheeks, as if he had rubbed rouge, but he didn't know how many times more natural than that, and at this moment, coupled with that extraordinarily fiery eyes, Jiang Xuan also looked a lot hotter.
"Think about it again." Lu Qingrong repeated, his voice surprisingly soft.
Jiang Xuan came back to his senses and felt helpless: "Where is the need to think about this." Absolutely never! ”
Lu Qingrong refused to give up, his eyes flashed, and he thought about it. Fang only remembered: "The second cousin said that you picked flowers together when you were very young, and she couldn't reach it, so you took her to pick ......"
in tone. There seems to be a hint of envy.
Jiang Xuan immediately found out. While smiling slightly, he still didn't dare to snub her question.
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Xuan categorically denied it, "It's okay to help her pick flowers, if you say that you hold her to pick flowers, you definitely won't." What's more, how old she was at that time, how could she possibly remember this! Don't forget, it was after we got married. The ...... that started to communicate with the Zhenbei General's Mansion again"
Where can Lu Qingrong figure out these things now, but he only heard Jiang Xuan say no. That's enough.
It's just that she didn't let go of this matter, and still tilted her head and muttered: "What flowers did you help her pick?" ”
"Begonia, huh?" Jiang Xuan said casually, and as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
Sure enough, Lu Qingrong pouted: "She can't remember clearly, you still remember ......"
Jiang Xuan had to say: "It's really not because I remember, it's just because the second cousin never came to the Hou Mansion when he was a child, if we meet in one place, it must be in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and you have also been there, except for a few begonias in the yard, there are other flowers and trees there?" ”
Jiang Xuan explained honestly, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
In his memory, he had never been "interrogated" like this, and it would be a rare thing to be looked at by others.
Lu Qingrong tilted his head, blinked at Jiang Xuan, and thought about it, as if this was indeed the case.
Seeing that her mouth, which was still pouting just now, gradually returned to its original state, Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I don't want to, the problem behind Lu Qingrong came again.
"How many did you pick for her?" At this time, Lu Qingrong's voice was no different from coquettishness.
Jiang Xuan was suddenly stimulated by her jealous words.
"Who can remember this!" Jiang Xuan's laughter was a hint of hoarseness, and he said softly: "If you like it, the Xifu begonias in our Yuyuan and the weeping silk begonias on the edge of Jinghu Lake behind are all better-looking...... Otherwise, I'll take you to the yard to pick flowers tomorrow, and let me help you pick them, or hold you to pick them, all ......according to your will."
"Who says I like it? Besides, I can reach it myself! Lu Qingrong glanced at him, but he didn't realize the coquettishness in his tone, "And I don't like the aroma of begonias very much, it's weird!" ”
How can the aroma of begonias be considered choking?
Jiang Xuan didn't argue, and nodded with a smile.
After a moment, Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment. Maybe Lu Qingrong really doesn't like it, she has always been extremely sensitive to all kinds of smells......
Suddenly, he remembered the first encounter he had with Lu Qingrong a few years ago after they grew up. In the huge Lichun courtyard, Lu Qingrong stood alone in the courtyard, panting for breath, very cute, and she said that the aroma in the idle room was choking......
After more than a year of marriage, Lu Qingrong was finally able to confide his emotions in front of him, although it was through a little wine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
This time, Lu Qing was bored, and he couldn't figure out what he was beautiful about.
Lu Qingrong pursed his lips again, reached out and pulled Jiang Xuan's sleeve, and spoke again: "How many flowers did you pick for her?" ”
While Jiang Xuan retracted his thoughts, he was trembling by her voice.
Lu Qingrong's ghost asked questions like hitting the wall, and he could still deal with it, but her soft voice was really unbearable.
Jiang Xuan looked at the hollow double-sided screen with teak carved lotus flowers in the inner room, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate it and see the rosewood stepping bed in the middle...... He immediately decided that in order to stop Lu Qingrong from wrestling all night on the matter of picking flowers, he had to find something else to do. (To be continued......)
