Chapter 117: Talking
Lu Qingrong was a little surprised.
Yesterday, I just heard the news of the second prince's wedding, and today I learned that the prince is also going to choose a concubine.
And Lu Manyu is actually on the list.
I think it must be the way where Geng Shi went.
Lu Qingrong sighed in his heart, if he was really chosen, he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse for Sister Man.
Yin Pingru is not very enthusiastic about this topic, but is just worried about Lu Qingrong.
"The condition of the prince is ...... What the hell is going on? Yin Pingru suddenly remembered, and grabbed her again and asked: "I think his complexion is good today, but the saying I heard earlier said that 'sometimes good and sometimes bad', I am really a little worried......"
Lu Qingrong was thinking about how to answer.
"It is true that the body of the prince has not yet healed, and there are occasional times of weakness these days." Lu Qingrong was careful with his words, "But it doesn't seem to be as strict as the outside world rumores, I think I only need to take care of it properly, and it will get better in time." ”
Lu Qingrong deliberately did not mention that Jiang Xuan fainted on the day of marriage, and the last time he showed weakness, he did not return all night......
Yin Pingru knew her character very well, and she would be suspicious of her words at this time, but she remembered that although Jiang Xuan she saw just now was not strong and strong, she also looked a little radiant in the warmth, and she was somewhat relieved in her heart.
Lu Qingrong was afraid that his mother would hold on to this matter, so he quickly stood up and planned to go to the Wisteria Pavilion.
"Persuade your second sister for a while......" Yin Pingru instructed, but her words were a little slurred.
"Persuade what? What happened to the second sister? Lu Qingrong was puzzled.
"It's nothing." Yin Pingru sighed, "It's not customary for her to live alone in Wisteria Pavilion these days, so you can spend more time with her today." ”
Lu Qingrong nodded in response, looked at Yin Pingru's slightly embarrassed expression, and didn't ask any more.
When she arrived at the Wisteria Pavilion, the three sisters and Jiang Yunpei were already waiting there.
When he took Jiang Xuan to confess his relatives before, only Lu Fangyu and Di Qian were present, and Lu Qianyu and Lu Manyu, who had not yet married, avoided it. When I saw Lu Fangyu just now, I just said hello and didn't say anything.
"I thought my eldest sister wouldn't be able to come today!" Lu Qingrong said at this time: "Don't you have to wait in the mansion to release the emperor list?" The result of the palace examination is thought to be only in the past two days. ”
"The exams are all over, and the good ranking is not by waiting!" Lu Fangyu smiled very briskly, "This is your brother-in-law's original words, not what I said." ”
"Well said!" Lu Qingrong laughed together, seeing that Lu Fangyu was much more cheerful now than when she was in the boudoir, she was naturally happy in her heart, "But then again, it's not good for you to stay outside for too long, right?" ”
"What? I just saw you, and that's what happened to me? Lu Fangyu pretended to be angry, but couldn't help laughing.
Lu Qingrong seemed to like the new Lu Fangyu in front of him, and he didn't refute it, just looked at her and smiled.
"Actually, I really can't stay too long." Lu Fangyu said honestly, "What I learned about your brother-in-law just now was what he said to my mother-in-law at that time. Although there is no news yet, I am afraid that the list will not be released today, but it is not good to return home too late. When he comes out of the eldest brother, we will go back. ”
"Brother-in-law is there with the eldest brother?" Lu Qingrong was curious: "When will they be so good?" ”
"Since participating in the exam, the two of them have talked a lot, maybe they have a good relationship." Lu Fangyu explained.
Speaking of the exam, Lu Qingrong suddenly thought of Jiang Ling, and turned his head to look at Jiang Yunpei: "Sister Jiang, is your eldest brother still in Shanhaiguan?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qianyu, who had been slightly lowering her head and was a little listless, also raised her head at this time, but there was still no brilliance in her eyes.
"I have already left Shanhaiguan and gone to Ning Yuanwei, which is more than two hundred miles away. That's what I received a letter the other day, so I should have been there for a while. Jiang Yunpei's tone was a little helpless, "It really scared me at the time, it was an important place on the border, even if the master of the Hanlin Academy wanted to inspect the terrain and improve the map, he didn't have to go to such a dangerous place!" ”
"The more important the battle, the more accurate the map is needed!" Lu Qingrong said simply, she knew that Jiang Yunpei would not fail to think of this, it was nothing more than out of concern for Jiang Ling, "You don't need to worry, Daqi has elite soldiers stationed in Ning Yuanwei all the year round, and Jiang Gongzi will definitely have no accidents." ”
Jiang Yunpei nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Manyu.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Manyu was really impatient when she heard it, "Let's finally get together, you guys actually talked about the imperial examination for a while, and talked about the border pass for a while, those are all men's affairs, okay!" ”
"Or else? What should we say? Lu Fangyu looked at her and asked, and without waiting for Lu Manyu to answer, she said with a look of sudden realization: "Then let's talk about His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Lu Manyu's face suddenly turned red.
She really hoped that the topic could revolve around herself, but she didn't expect Lu Fangyu to say it so bluntly, which made it difficult for her to answer.
At this time, Lu Qianyu, who had been silent since Lu Qingrong came in just now, suddenly spoke: "You are in the Hou Mansion, are you doing well?" ”
"It's good." Lu Qingrong brought out the remarks he had just made with Yin Pingru and said it again.
Originally, this kind of greeting could only be answered in this way.
Lu Manyu on the side came to the spirit, and also asked: "We heard a lot of rumors about the Marquis of Jingyuan in the women's school, but they are all true?" Tell me about it! ”
This obviously has some meaning to depend on the excitement.
"I've only been married for a few days, how can I know so thoroughly." Lu Qingrong said casually: "These days, I don't think that the son of the world is as rumored to be, and those who think about it are nothing more than false rumors!" ”
Since he and Jiang Xuan are already husband and wife, no matter what the actual situation is, they naturally want to protect him outside. What's more, after coming into contact these days, except for feeling that he is a little uncertain and elusive, he really hasn't found anything else wrong.
When Lu Manyu heard this, she suddenly felt bored, and then asked something else: "I heard that you also went to the flower viewing banquet in the palace yesterday?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Qingrong responded simply.
Being able to enter the palace for a banquet has always been something that Lu Manyu yearns for. At the beginning, Xu Ying told the interesting story of the flower appreciation banquet in the women's school, which made her look forward to it very much, and secretly thought in her heart how good it would be if she had the opportunity to enter the palace in the future.
At this time, thinking that he had been on the roster this time and had the opportunity to be selected as the prince's side concubine, he suddenly sprouted an unprecedented sense of superiority, and spoke much more briskly: "I heard that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother also rewarded you with things?" ”
"How do you know?" Lu Qingrong asked rhetorically, this was just yesterday, how did she know.
"Listen to my mother!" Lu Manyu said as a matter of course.
"It's a reward, but it's not for no reason, it's said that it's a congratulatory gift." Lu Qingrong explained, suddenly remembered something, hesitated a little in his heart, but still opened his mouth, "Actually, it's not just the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, the Crown Princess also has a reward." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Manyu immediately quieted down.
There was no one in the room to speak for a while, which made Lu Manyu even more embarrassed.
"It's not early, I still have to go to Mama Chai to learn the rules, so I'll stay soon." After Lu Manyu finished speaking, she ran out of the smoke and returned to the West Courtyard.
Lu Fangyu and Jiang Yunpei also faintly felt that today's Lu Qingrong seemed to be a little different from the past, but they were a little happy about this change in their hearts. After all, if you are in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, it may not be a good thing if you are still as innocent and unthinking as when you were in the Lu Mansion.
At this moment, the maid outside came in to report that the eldest aunt had sent someone to invite the eldest aunt and grandmother.
Lu Fangyu hurriedly looked at Lu Qingrong, looking a little embarrassed: "It seems that I have to leave too." When this busy time is over, our sisters will definitely get together! "Obviously, I am in a hurry today, and I am still a little unfinished.
"It's a deal." Lu Qingrong responded with a smile: "Eldest sister, go back with your brother-in-law, maybe the good news is not known today." ”
"Then I'll borrow your good words!" Lu Fangyu smiled again, said goodbye to her sisters, and went to the front to find Di Qian.
There were three people left in the room at this time.
Originally, Jiang Yunpei also wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Qingrong, but at this time, she looked at Lu Qianyu, who was obviously a little depressed, and knew it in her heart, so she didn't linger too long, and after saying a few words, she said goodbye and returned to the South Courtyard.
Now that only she and Lu Qianyu are left, Lu Qingrong no longer goes around in circles with her, and asks directly: "Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Something wasn't right when I came in today to see you. ”
"I'm fine." Lu Qianyu was still stiff-mouthed, but the melancholy on her face had already betrayed her.
Lu Qingrong didn't ask anymore, just looked at her on the other side, waiting for her to say it herself.
"A few days ago, my mother was going to tell me that she was here." Lu Qianyu really opened her mouth.
"Which son-in-law do you want to kiss?" Lu Qingrong then asked.
"Cousin of the Yin family."
"Cousin?" Lu Qingrong was a little surprised when he first heard it, but in the blink of an eye, he found that he had never thought about it before, and now that he suddenly mentioned it, he didn't think it was inappropriate, "Then why are you sad, but what are you dissatisfied with the cousin of the Yin family?" ”
Lu Qianyu in front of him was silent.
Lu Qingrong continued to ask: "But is it because the cousin of the Yin family has no fame?" Still don't like him as a person? She was also a little unsure of Lu Qianyu's thoughts.
"Of course not!" Lu Qianyu reacted quickly this time, "Don't you know me yet?" I have a headache when I hear about reading, and those fame are dispensable for me. I can't talk about it if I don't like him, I don't think I'm as close to the eldest brother and second brother as the cousin of the Yin family......"
"And why are you doing this?"
Lu Qingrong asked instinctively, but he already understood something in his heart. RS
