Lu Qingrong held the letter, and he actually felt a little hot.

It is inevitable that Jiang Ling will be slandered in his heart, what do you have to write a letter to her?

It is easy for people to criticize each other for giving and receiving private teachings between men and women, and he actually sent a letter so blatantly.

Fortunately, Jiang Yunpei is a person who knows the severity, at least he took out the letter from Lu Qianyu just now.

obviously has nothing to do with him, but Lu Qingrong is inevitably weak-hearted.

"Why didn't Sister Jiang take it out just now?" Lu Qingrong looked at the letter in Jiang Yunpei's hand that he had shown to everyone before, and suddenly asked.

As soon as the words came out, she herself regretted it a little.

In fact, when she found that the letter Jiang Ling sent to her contained another letter to Lu Qingrong, Jiang Yunpei was also a little at a loss for a moment.

Thinking of Jiang Ling's behavior in the past, he was a little whimsical, and he had never paid much attention to secular conventions, which was really not too strange for him.

Moreover, Lu Qingrong is a well-read among the young ladies of the Lu family, and the eldest brother can sometimes say a word or two when he sees her, so she is not too surprised by the act of sending a letter this time.

Since the eldest brother clipped this letter, she couldn't help but send it, and finally took Lu Qianyu away and handed the letter to Lu Qingrong, Jiang Yunpei suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she also didn't know whether to continue to stand here or leave immediately.

So Lu Qingrong's brainless words just now made her a lot easier.

"What, do you want me to take it out in front of Sister Qian'er?" Jiang Yunpei asked pretending to be surprised.

Lu Qianyu has always been unable to hide things in her heart, but whenever she has something on her mind, she either hangs it on her lips or shows it on her face.

is as careful as Jiang Yunpei, and naturally sees some clues.

When Lu Qingrong heard this, she quickly reacted that she was making fun of herself, and suddenly felt that her weakness was really redundant, and she raised her hand to tear open the envelope.

I took out the only letter paper inside, and there was not a word on it.

It was a painting.

In the middle is a city gate, an unusually majestic tower towering between heaven and earth, with undulating and winding mountains on one side and a rough and endless sea on the other. In the backdrop of this mountain and sea, the majestic momentum of the city pass is even more revealed.

The whole painting is only sketched by light or heavy ink, but it vividly shows the dangerous terrain of Shanhaiguan.

Lu Qingrong had also heard a lot of legends about Shanhaiguan in his previous life, and knew that it was a rare natural hazard and enjoyed the praise of "the first pass in the world", but he had never been there.

Seeing the painting in front of him at this moment made Lu Qingrong, who had not seen the sea for more than ten years, feel a little enthusiastic.

She suddenly realized that compared with the scene of the waves in the painting, her life over the years was too turbulent, and she had some faint expectations in her heart, hoping that her life would be a little different in the future.

Later?

What are you expecting?

Thinking of Mrs. Wu's face that is always smiling, but hiding all kinds of thoughts, and Jiang Xuan's sometimes cloudy and sometimes cynical face, the future will definitely be different, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but show a wry smile that he hadn't even noticed.

Jiang Yunpei, who had been standing next to him, saw that the letter was just a painting, and there was not a word, and his heart was still a little relaxed, so he also came over to look at it together.

"Is this what the eldest brother said about Shanhaiguan?" Jiang Yunpei looked fascinated, "This posture of landscape attack is indeed dangerous!" The so-called 'Tielian Canghai Pillow Green Mountain' really lives up to its name! ”

Lu Qingrong was still a little absent-minded, but nodded: "I didn't expect your eldest brother to paint." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yunpei was a little confused by what she said.

Lu Qingrong came back to her senses at this time, how could she not know that Jiang Ling could draw, when she was very young, she had seen his expressive paintings such as "Kong Rong Makes Pears" and "Carving a Boat for a Sword".

"I mean, it used to be all about storytelling, but I didn't expect him to be able to paint this kind of immersive scenery......"

After listening to Lu Qingrong's explanation, Jiang Yunpei also suddenly felt a little proud.

At this time, Lu Qingrong casually took down a book on the bookshelf, sandwiched his envelope inside, folded the painting, and put it into Jiang Yunpei's larger envelope.

"If the second sister comes down in a while, let's show her this too. I think she's also interested in the scenery over there. ”

Jiang Yunpei bowed slightly, of course she knew that Lu Qianyu was probably not interested in the scenery of Shanhaiguan...... But he didn't say anything more.

Until the next day, when the three Lu Qingrong sisters were in the Wisteria Pavilion to learn the rules from the Chai Mama who Lu Yizhong invited back, Lu Qianyu still remembered the painting she saw yesterday.

At this time, Mama Chai was struggling to correct Lu Manyu's walking posture, telling her to walk many times with good manners and light steps, but she could never change her somewhat shaking head when she walked, as if she was showing her clothes and jewelry to the people around her all the time.

Lu Qianyu, who was finally temporarily let go by Mama Chai, came to Lu Qingrong's side at this time and whispered: "Fourth sister, why don't you take advantage of the efforts of the past few days to teach me to paint?" ”

"Painting?" Lu Qingrong quickly reacted, this was obviously influenced by Jiang Ling's painting again.

Knowing this, he didn't let Jiang Yunpei show it to her.

Before, Lu Qianyu wanted to be a female sage for a while, and she was a little crazy when she read books, and now she still vividly remembers it.

"Let me teach you? Where can I paint! What Lu Qingrong said was also true, "It's not that you haven't seen the paintings I painted in the women's school, the eldest lady of the Yanguo Mansion has always not commented on others, and they all say that I am not like the four ......."

"That's just as well." Lu Qianyu couldn't help but be a little depressed, and secretly thought in her heart that when the house was busy with Lu Qingrong's family affairs, she must go to the women's school and Mr. Zhen to learn to paint.

At this time, Mama Chai paid attention to Lu Qianyu again and began to correct her sitting posture, and Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

In these days of learning the rules, Lu Qingrong is the most relaxed among the three sisters, I don't know if it is because she is about to get married, so she is more attentive to learning, or for some other reason, in short, she is rarely corrected by Mama Chai.

Little did she know, however, that something was going on that would not make it easy for her.

In the main house of the East Courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Yin Pingru listened to the maid's advice, and Cao's mother from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion came to the door to ask to see her.

Yin Pingru had never heard of this Cao's mother's name, but since she was from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, she was quickly invited in.

Cao's mother looked at her over forty years old, wearing a dark gray cloth hooded cloak on the outside, and an autumn fragrance pigment facing the placket inside, a dark brown skirt, her hair was tied in a bun, and she was only wearing a plain silver hairpin.

As soon as Cao's mother saw Yin Pingru, she hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.

"No need to be polite." Yin Pingru waved her hand slightly, "I don't know who this mother is?" ”

"The slave maid is the housekeeper mother of the Yuyuan Mansion of the Marquis of Jingyuan, and her husband's surname is Cao." Cao's mother replied respectfully.

"It turned out to be Cao's mother." Hearing her mention Yuyuan, Yin Pingru also knew that it was Jiang Xuan's residence, "I wonder what happened to you coming over this time?" ”

"Mrs. Lu is strict." Cao's mother explained: "Today, Mrs. Wu sent us over, firstly, to see if there is anything you need help with about getting married, and secondly, Mrs. Wu was worried that the fourth lady would not be used to marrying in the future, so she told me to come over first to tell the fourth lady about the rules of the Hou Mansion." ”

If you listen to the tone, it is naturally very polite.

It's just that the content of it is not flattering.

When the Lu family marries their daughter, why do they need help from others? This first item is obviously just a kind remark, and it should not be taken seriously.

Yin Pingru knew in her heart that the focus was on the latter sentence.

The Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion has a transcendent status among the nobles in the capital, and it is understandable to have more rules.

It's just that coming to them to talk about these things before they got married makes Yin Pingru feel a little strange in her heart.

But she really has no experience in this area, whether it is herself or Lu Fangyu's relatives before, it is not quite the same as the situation in the Hou Mansion, so she was a little confused for a while.

Since the people of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion are here with a swagger, it should be like this......

"Then Mother Cao, wait a while, I'll ask Qingrong to come over."

"There's no need to go through the hassle." Cao's mother persuaded: "Just say a few words, don't toss the fourth lady, I think it's still a slave to go by herself!" ”

Although Yin Pingru felt that this Cao's mother was a little too enthusiastic, she also felt that it was okay.

"Then there's Mother Laocao." After speaking, he instructed the maid to lead Cao's mother to the Wisteria Pavilion at the back.

Cao's mother saluted Yin Pingru before saying goodbye and walking out.

As soon as the maid led Cao's mother out of the main house, she saw a person wearing the same color cloak as Cao's mother standing at the door, waiting there, although she only saw the side, she could also find that her figure was much stronger than Cao's mother, and the hat of the cloak was still on her head.

When Cao's mother went to the Wisteria Pavilion, this person had been following her all the time.

At this time, Cao's mother was really a little entangled in her heart.

Mrs. Lu was very polite to her, but she knew that her behavior today was really rude.

It is true that Mrs. Wu asked her to come, but this is not the regular custom before the marriage of the noble family.

According to Mrs. Wu's intention to explain to her early in the morning, she was to let her casually tell Miss Lu Si some rules, not for the rules themselves, but to let Miss Lu Si realize that the Hou Mansion and the Lu Mansion are different, and that if she marries into the Hou Mansion in the future, she must not act willfully.

To put it bluntly, it's to give a dismount.

This task is indeed a bit difficult for Cao's mother, who has always been quiet and self-contained. This is also the entanglement in her heart at the moment.

And there was another thing that made her even more uneasy.

Mother Cao turned her face slightly sideways and glanced at the person walking beside her, and couldn't help but feel a little headache. RS
