Lu Qingrong was not surprised.

Today's Jiang Huijuan's words and deeds are full of weirdness, and it is really hard to be convincing if there is nothing.

At this time, Jiang Xuan's voice was still a little hesitant came from outside.

"Many years ago, the second aunt once wanted to marry the Marquis of Jingyuan......

I see.

Lu Qingrong waited quietly to listen to him continue.

"At the earliest, it was my mother who didn't say anything about this matter, and then ......" Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan suddenly paused, and his tone became slightly melancholy, "Later, my mother passed away, and it gradually stopped." ”

"About a year or two ago, I heard that the second aunt mentioned this matter to Mrs. Wu again, but Mrs. Wu was quite straightforward and directly blocked back, and it is said that she refused under the pretext that she was discussing marriage with the Lu Mansion." Speaking of later, Jiang Xuan's affection was a little restored, and he finally had some smiles: "Actually, at that time, the Lu Mansion was far from agreeing to the Hou Mansion's courtship. ”

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that their relationship could be traced back to so long ago, and they were almost married before Mrs. Jiang's death, but it was just ...... How old were they then?

When Mrs. Jiang died, Jiang Xuan was only six or seven years old, and Jiang Huijuan was even younger.

"At that time, it was because you were young, right?" Lu Qingrong finally asked.

"It's not all for that, either." Jiang Xuan's voice seemed ethereal, as if he had fallen into the memories of the past, "Actually, my mother also hopes to marry the Zhenbei General's Mansion, I once heard my mother sigh alone, 'It would be nice if the eldest aunt had this will' or something like that, I think she liked her eldest cousin more at that time." ”

Lu Qingrong recalled the appearance of his eldest cousin Jiang Huichun, but his impression was very vague.

Whether it was the day she got married or today's banquet, it seemed that the eldest cousin didn't have any sense of zài, only vaguely remembered that it was a quiet and gentle woman, and she couldn't remember it anymore.

However, the two cousins were still so young at the beginning, where can they see any clues from their personalities, presumably Mrs. Jiang is just a little resistant to marrying her brother-in-law.

Lu Qingrong felt that Jiang Xuan should also know what Mrs. Jiang meant, but because he didn't say it explicitly, it was even worse for him to talk about Mrs. Jiang's thoughts, so he then asked, "Then why doesn't Mrs. Wu agree?" ”

"She obviously won't agree, firstly, the identity of the second uncle's concubine will definitely make her feel that she can't get over her face, and secondly, she probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the Zhenbei General's Mansion......" Jiang Xuan didn't continue.

Lu Qingrong already understood what he meant.

If it was said that Mrs. Wu was afraid of Jiang Huijuan's father's identity as a concubine, Lu Qingrong didn't believe it very much, after all, she, the young lady of the Lu family with the name of the oil bottle, had been asked to marry her three or four times, and she didn't really care about these identities, at least in Jiang Xuan's family affairs.

From this point of view, it should be for the latter reason that she is unwilling to have anything to do with the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Lu Qingrong has always been a little wary of Mrs. Wu, and a large part of it is because she has seen Mrs. Wu's two faces a long time ago.

At that time, she was just one year old, and Mrs. Wu specially invited them to the Hou Mansion, and after opening Yin Pingru, she asked Mrs. Jiang about the Yin Mansion in Jinan, so that she always felt that there must be some article in it.

It's just that Lu Qingrong was just a bystander at that time, and she regarded herself as an outsider, and she didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Hou Mansion, so she didn't study it deeply.

Looking back at this moment, Mrs. Wu, who was still the wife of Marquis Jingyuan at that time, obviously did not have a good relationship with Mrs. Jiang.

It would not be surprising to say that she deliberately wanted to distance herself from the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Jiang Xuan didn't respond for a long time when he saw Lu Qingrong, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Lu Qingrong was lying on the stepping bed in the middle of the room, staring at the patterns on the bed frame for a long time in the dim light, and Jiang Huijuan's smiling and sometimes resentful face always seemed to appear in front of him.

"What about yourself, do you feel a little regretful?" Lu Qingrong actually asked such a thing.

Before the words fell, she herself regretted it a little.

Between her and Jiang Xuan, there had never been such a private issue.

Jiang Xuan outside was also a little surprised, but he quickly relaxed and said: "It's not a pity, how old I was at that time!" Jiang Xuan smiled, "Later, when I grew up and gradually understood some things, I knew that it was impossible for Mrs. Wu to agree, so I never thought about it." ”

Lu Qingrong was a little skeptical of his statement.

She vaguely remembered that when Jiang Xuan disguised herself and followed Cao's mother to Lufu, she clearly wanted to persuade her to quit, although she somehow changed her mind later, but she just couldn't forget it, and it seemed to have gradually become a pimple in her heart, and even a little bit bigger.

Lu Qingrong shook his head quietly, as if he wanted to dispel these strange feelings.

"Hmm." Lu Qingrong replied lightly, not planning to continue this topic.

Jiang Xuan didn't know why, because Lu Qingrong asked this question just now, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.

"You don't have to wait for me for lunch tomorrow, I'm going to go to the palace early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be back until the evening." Jiang Xuan said casually.

"The wedding of the second prince, are you going to start busy?" Lu Qingrong also knew that the wedding was coming in a few days.

"Well, there's a lot to prepare." Jiang Xuan explained: "In addition, I have to thank you for the birthday gift sent by the second prince today. ”

"Oh? The second prince also sent a congratulatory gift? Lu Qingrong was a little surprised.

"Not only the second prince, but even the crown prince has not been left behind this time." Jiang Xuan's words couldn't tell whether he was happy or helpless, "I'm going to the East Palace tomorrow to thank you." ”

Lu Qingrong always had a feeling that the relationship between Jiang Xuan and the second prince seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined before.

Especially at the flower viewing banquet, she and Jiang Xuan met the second prince in the palace, and saw that there was no estrangement between the two of them, but it gave people a sense of unusually closeness.

It's just that after all, this topic is a little sensitive, and Lu Qingrong can't ask directly, so he suddenly thought of another matter: "A few days ago, for the birthday banquet in the mansion, I walked to Qinyi Courtyard more diligently, and I heard Mrs. Wu mention that she was going to Yanguo Mansion to add makeup to Sister Yue in two days. You say, what should we add? ”

Lu Qingrong couldn't figure out the relationship between Jiang Xuan and the second prince, so he was afraid that he would have a business trip in adding makeup.

Although she had a very good personal relationship with Tang Yue, the things she sent out at this time not only represented herself, but also represented the attitude of the Marquis of Jingyuan, so she still wanted to discuss it with Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was a little unimpressed: "This depends on the situation on Mrs. Wu's side first." When it came to Mrs. Wu, Jiang Xuan's tone was more casual, "You don't have to worry too much about this, just don't go over Mrs. Wu's share, you can watch and choose the rest." Rest assured, it's not a big deal. ”

Hearing Jiang Xuan's affirmative reply, Lu Qingrong must have felt a lot more down-to-earth in his heart, but at the same time, he secretly thought that it seemed that the relationship between Jiang Xuan and the second prince might be really extraordinary, otherwise he would never be so casual on top of these false courtesies......

After that, Lu Qingrong listened to Jiang Xuan talk about a lot of things, including what congratulatory gifts he received today, and which guests were carried back when they were drunk......

In Jiang Xuan's gentle and steady voice, drowsiness slowly hit, and Lu Qingrong gradually fell asleep.

I don't know if it's because I'm too busy today and a little tired, or because I've heard too many things about Hefu in one day, Lu Qingrong, who rarely dreams on weekdays, suddenly started dreaming today.

Lu Qingrong, who was in the dream, suddenly returned to the year he had just crossed.

At that time, she was just one year old, and she still lived in Hefu with Yin Pingru, which was the scene when she first came to the Great Qi Dynasty.

He Kai's indifferent and detached eyes, Yin Pingru's haggard and lost face, flashed in front of Lu Qingrong's eyes one by one like slides.

The scene suddenly switched, and Lu Qingrong felt that he had grown up a lot in an instant, and it seemed that he was finally the same age as his current self.

But soon the scene in front of her almost suffocated her.

Because although she has grown up by herself, the Qiē around her is still the He family who should have moved out when she was one year old.

Lu Qing held back the horror in his heart and looked around.

In the originally empty courtyard, a lot of people suddenly appeared, scattered around her.

He Zhiyuan, Feng Shi, He Kai......

There are even Qiu Muyun and He Qingwan.

Only Yin Pingru was missing.

And each of them is saying something in their mouths.

"Where are you from? Why is it in our He family? ”

"Are you my daughter or not?"

"Your mother has long since left Hefu, why don't you go with her?"

"Humph! It's not that she can't bear the name of Miss He's family, who is willing to go out and suffer with a divorced woman! ”

……

Lu Qingrong felt that these voices were getting louder and louder, like a gust of wind blowing directly into the depths of her mind, and in the end, she almost had a headache, even if she covered her ears with her hands, it could not be relieved at all.

What about mothers? Did her mother leave her alone?

She wanted to open her mouth and shout, but she couldn't make any sound anyway.

And the more she couldn't shout, the more she couldn't help but try again and again, trying her best.

Eventually, she felt like she was on the verge of collapse.

And just when she couldn't hold on any longer, she suddenly woke up.

When he woke up from the nightmare, Lu Qingrong couldn't tell which reality was for a while.

She sat up from the rosewood bed and turned her head to look out the window, knowing that it was dawn, though the sun was not shining in yet.

But because of the excessive force just now, Lu Qingrong's eyes suddenly went black, and he almost fell back on the bed.

The reason why she did not fall was because she fell into the arms of another person in that moment. RS
