Chapter 166: Feelings

Unlike Lu Qingrong's side, Jiang Xuan found that there were no people he was familiar with on their side.

Whether it is the Yanguo Mansion or the Wuding Marquis Mansion, only the female dependents came, and only the unobtrusive Song Shixiang of the Chengping Marquis Mansion was among the guests.

Jiang Xuan was not surprised, he had helped inquire about this person for Lu Qianyu's matter before, and as soon as Song Shixiang was in a bit of trouble this time, someone reported to him that the Chengping Marquis Mansion wanted to marry the He family.

Just because he knew that Lu Qingrong disliked Song Shixiang and it was the He family's business, he didn't mention it in front of her.

And today's Song Shixiang was originally very happy in the He Mansion by relying on his identity as the second master of the Hou Mansion, but after finding out that the Hou Shizi of Jingyuan was also here, he was first surprised, and then he was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xuan rarely participated in this kind of banquet in the past, let alone a mere He family, even if it was an invitation from the prince's family or even the palace inside, he was often rejected or called sick on the grounds of physical discomfort.

However, since the last time he met Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong in Guangyin Temple, and made such a big fuss, no matter what occasion Song Shixiang met Jiang Xuan again, he walked around quietly and didn't dare to squeak.

The same is true today.

It's just that Jiang Xuan didn't get anything clean because of this.

From the moment he stepped into the door of the He Mansion today, the people of the He family seemed to have been staring at him.

He Di was quite normal, and after a few polite and respectful greetings, he didn't dwell too much.

But He Kai and He Zhiyuan are completely different.

This was the first time Jiang Xuan had met He Zhiyuan. Although I haven't heard her talk about it from Lu Qingrong, when I learned about Lu Qingrong's past before getting married, I also knew a lot about this person, especially the role he played in the incident back then.

"The arrival of the prince really makes the entire He Mansion shine!" He Zhiyuan said very humbly.

The gray-haired, emaciated face in front of him made Jiang Xuan look uncomfortable.

"Lord He's serious." Jiang Xuan's expression was indifferent.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's lukewarm attitude, He Zhiyuan was prepared in his heart.

Jiang Xuan's name he had heard of a long time ago, and vaguely knew that it was a flamboyant and domineering gentleman, but he was very favored in front of the saint, but later because he collided with the second prince at the flower banquet in the palace, he was first punished and thought about it behind closed doors, and later because of physical reasons, he was exempted from reading with the prince...... Therefore, when he first heard that Lu Qingrong was going to the Hou Mansion to be the wife of the prince in Jinan, he did not have much fluctuation in his heart, and felt that he was nothing more than a noble son who had already lost power.

But I didn't want to, in just a few months later, the health of the Marquis of Jingyuan improved greatly, and he even received the favor of the saint again, not to mention the personal summons, but also resumed the errands of the past, and even the Marquis of Jingyuan, who had been recuperating at home for many years, was rewarded and held a birthday banquet......

So He Zhiyuan began to feel uneasy.

wants to use Lu Qingrong and Jingyuan Hou Shizi to get closer, He Zhiyuan's thoughts are no less than He Kai and Qiu Muyun, and today he finally has a chance.

"It's the prince who is polite." He Zhiyuan's face did not change, and his posture was still ridiculously low, "It stands to reason that since we have come to the capital, it is right for us to visit." ”

"Logically? What is the truth? A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth, and his voice was still indifferent.

"This ......" He Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, he was originally about to say that it was "between relatives", but because he saw Jiang Xuan's extremely fierce expression at this time, he couldn't say it anymore, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "I heard that Marquis Jingyuan has not yet recovered, we will inevitably be worried, thinking that if it is convenient for you, we can also go to visit one or two." ”

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at He Kai, who was standing beside He Zhiyuan.

I used to think that he was a difficult person, but I didn't expect him to be even worse as a father, and I couldn't help but be a little glad for Lu Qingrong, although the Lu family was also a little unsatisfactory, but at least Lu Yiduo was much better than the two in front of him.

Fortunately, he didn't eat this set at all, and seemed to think for a while, and then asked, "Has Lord He ever seen my father before?" ”

"This ......" He Zhiyuan paused again, and could only tell the truth, "I have been in Shandong for a long time before, and I rarely have the opportunity to come to the capital, and I have never met Hou Ye. ”

"That's it. The doctor told his father to recuperate, and he rarely saw a guest for so many years, let alone a stranger! Jiang Xuan highlighted this "stranger".

He Zhiyuan finally had a little unbearable on his face, and stood there for a while.

Jiang Xuan didn't seem to be enough, and continued to add: "What's more, Lord He is not related to us, there is really no reason for you to run away in vain when you are old, so you will say it in front, don't mind." ”

After speaking, Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention to the father and son who were stunned, and went directly to the circle chair near the curtain on the edge of the first row and sat down.

And at this time, Song Shixiang, who was near the curtain, sneakily and probing his head to look at the female guests' seats, saw him coming, and hurriedly moved to the other side to sit away from Jiang Xuan.

Although after singing on the stage, He Zhiyuan's father and son moved to Jiang Xuan's side, but he had already entered a state of listening attentively to the play, and rarely spoke again.

At this time, on the other side of the curtain, Lu Qingrong had new doubts.

"Why haven't you seen Princess Chengyang all the time?" Lu Qingrong finally recovered from He Qingning's words just now, and turned his head to ask Cui Shiyun.

The reason why so many people can come today is that many of them are to save face for the princess, anyway, she shouldn't even show her face, right?

"I heard what the county lord of Kangning meant just now, it was that the princess was about to go out in the morning when she suddenly felt unwell, and said that she would come back later." Cui Shiyun explained that although she herself does not believe in this kind of rhetoric, it is not surprising that Princess Chengyang has always liked to take Qiao.

Lu Qingrong nodded, he also had this slander in his heart, but he just smiled helplessly.

In the end, it wasn't until noon that the banquet was used and the stage started singing again, and Princess Chengyang and Qiu Yongan both came.

I saw that the princess's dress was really radiant, dressed in a red and gold-sprinkled piping embroidered with a hundred butterflies, a rose-colored skirt, her face with heavy makeup was extraordinarily pale, and her head was surrounded by red gold, and the most dazzling thing was the bowl-sized dot cui step, the noon sun was already warm, and then after her reflection of red gold, many people in front of her were a little unable to open their eyes.

But there are really many people who are very happy to see Princess Chengyang, including the Duchess of Yanguo, the Marquis of Wuding, and Lu Qingrong.

Because it's finally time to go.

When Princess Chengyang was invited to the main seat, after a scene, people began to leave one after another.

The first to get up was the Duchess of Yanguo, followed by the Marquis of Wuding.

Although looking at Mrs. Wu and Feng's extremely enthusiastic posture, I felt that she didn't want to leave so early, but after all, her identity was there, and everyone else was gone, so it was inconvenient for her to stay for a long time.

What Lu Qingrong didn't expect was that the Feng family, who was originally in poor spirits and needed help even to walk, actually sent them all the way to the door.

At the time of parting, he was also invited by Mrs. Wu to go to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion another day as a guest.

Feng Shi did not hide her flattered expression at all: "Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis has spoken, and we will naturally obey the order." ”

After that, the two talked for a long time, and they boarded their respective carriages under Feng's personal farewell.

Jiang Xuan had already come out one step ahead of her, and when she waited there, she saw Lu Qingrong's face a little strange when she got into the car, so she asked, "What's wrong?" I think you're surprised! ”

"It's a bit of a surprise indeed." Lu Qingrong nodded, "Mrs. Wu, this should be the first time I've seen the Feng family, right?" I think they are very close to each other, and they really look like they hate to see each other late. ”

Jiang Xuan remembered He Zhiyuan's attitude just now, and he was not surprised that Feng would be like this.

Lu Qingrong felt that Mrs. Wu was more eccentric.

The words He Qingning reminded her just now suddenly sounded in her ears, "For example, don't let them go to the Hou Mansion as guests...... She didn't think about it at the time, because she thought it was unlikely to happen, but she actually said something, and it obviously became something to be careful about at this time.

And Lu Qingrong needs to consider more than this at this time.

Since she had agreed to help He Qingning find a way at that time, she didn't plan to go back on her word. It's just that I can't make up my mind, whether to mention it to Jiang Xuan. After all, the matter of Lu Qianyu last time, if he didn't intervene, it wouldn't be so easy to solve, and even if he didn't need his help this time, it was always not good if he didn't know.

Jiang Xuan looked at her obviously tangled appearance, thinking that it was because of the feeling in the He Mansion, and only after listening to her talk about He Qingning's affairs did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've heard about it, too." Jiang Xuan told the truth, and then asked, "Do you really want to help her find a way?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Qingrong replied simply, and his tone was unquestionable.

Jiang Xuan nodded his head and didn't say anything more.

If his understanding of the He family was limited to the various reports sent to him before, and he had no feelings, then at this moment, he finally had a clearer understanding of Lu Qingrong's so-called blood relatives. I don't dare to say that I can empathize with Lu Qingrong's experience, but at least I am a little wary of those people.

On the other hand, Lu Qingrong, although she had been treated so unfairly by the He family, she still couldn't bear to watch He Qingning fall into the mouth of the tiger, and I am afraid that only Lu Qingrong could do this.

Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart, and he didn't know if it was a good thing that she was so kind-hearted......

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan was uncontrollably moved, held Lu Qingrong's hand close to him, and took her into his arms with his right arm.

"Don't just think about others, but always think about yourself."

As soon as Jiang Xuan's words fell, he heard a "fluttering" laugh from his arms. R1152
