Chapter 108: Get along

Lu Qingrong didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but thought for a moment with the bowl of yam porridge in his hand.

Regarding Jiang Xuan's errand, she had heard people mention it in the casual conversation of the female school a long time ago.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was still the companion of the second prince, and he also held the official position of commander of Yu Linwei.

Being ranked in the third rank at a young age is undoubtedly a way for the current emperor to show favor to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion.

Although Yu Linwei belonged to the Imperial City Forbidden Army in the Great Qi Dynasty and had a transcendent status, Jiang Xuan, the commander of the same knowledge, was turned into an out-and-out idle position by himself.

Earlier, because I wanted to enter the palace to accompany the second prince, it was natural that I didn't have time to go on an errand.

But after falling into the water during the Duanyang Festival two years ago, he has been staying in the Hou Mansion to recuperate, which is a well-known thing.

Moreover, when the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion went to the Lu Mansion to propose his relatives this time, he did not mention this matter from beginning to end, and Lu Qingrong took it for granted that his errand was long gone.

But now listen to what he means......

"Haven't you been recuperating in the Hou Mansion all these years?" Lu Qingrong still asked the puzzle in his heart, "Is that errand still there?" ”

"Of course." Jiang Xuan saw that her eyebrows were frowning slightly, and she was holding yam porridge in her hand but she hadn't moved the spoon for a long time, she just looked at herself blankly, and couldn't help but explain: "Since my father came back from the Northwest Battlefield, he couldn't afford to be sick, and the emperor will inevitably feel sorry for the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, so if there is no big problem, it will be difficult for me to lose this errand!" ”

The emperor is sorry?

This is somewhat beyond Lu Qingrong's comprehension.

In the first battle in the northwest of Jingyuan Marquis Jiang Chenghua, if it were not for the right general Xu Yi who accompanied the army to turn the tide and advance with the light enemy of Jingyuan Marquis, I am afraid that he would have already handed over the 100,000 troops he brought to the northwest, and how could he return victoriously.

This matter is not a secret in the entire capital, and after the class teacher returned to the court, Marquis Jingyuan was also punished by dismissal.

"The ...... of the Northwest Battlefield back then" Lu Qingrong only started and didn't say any more, but she still felt in her heart that this guilty person should be the Marquis of Jingyuan.

Jiang Xuan was about to speak, but he first looked up at the green bamboo standing beside him.

Lu Qingrong also wanted to hear what he had to say, so he let Luzhu go down and rest first.

"It's not what it seems." Jiang Xuan continued her words, "Because of the prestige accumulated by my grandfather, in the eyes of the spectators, it is natural for my father to hang General Zhenxi to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion, in fact, anyone who knows a little about the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion knows that my father has never had any experience in leading troops. ”

It was the first time for Lu Qingrong to see Jiang Xuan's expression so strict, and he couldn't help but listen to him very attentively as he continued.

"The emperor was really out of choice at the beginning. The dynasty of the prosperous era lacked fierce generals, the world had been peaceful for so long, and there were very few people in the court who were brave and good at fighting and had prestige in the army. The eldest uncle was guarding in Mobei at that time, and it was when the Fanmeng people were making the most trouble, and he was helpless. The emperor had no choice but to let his father drive the ducks to the shelves. ”

Lu Qingrong also found at this time that what he had heard in the past was indeed a bit superficial, but he still had one thing to understand: "I heard that the right general at that time, Lord Xu, made great contributions, and he must have been a brave and good fighter, why didn't he take command in the first place?" ”

"You've heard a lot of things!" Jiang Xuan's gaze at Lu Qingrong became a little intriguing.

Lu Qingrong didn't think so, and put down the porridge bowl in his hand: "Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know about this?" Presumably, there are few people in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion who mention it. ”

Jiang Xuan smiled helplessly: "What you said is right, Lord Xu is indeed a brave and resourceful person, but he lacks prestige in the army after all. At that time, the rebel army in the northwest was huge, and the 100,000 horses summoned by the imperial court did not have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, so they had to be superior in momentum. With the situation at that time, no one could inspire the military more than the banner of Jingyuan Marquis. ”

I see.

Lu Qingrong also had to admit at this moment that he had thought too simple before.

No wonder Marquis Jingyuan came back with a broken army, but he was not too harshly criticized by the emperor, but he was dismissed, and this was also made up for in Jiang Xuan's official position.

Lu Qingrong felt that this topic was a little far, and was about to go around and continue to talk about Sun Yiming, but Jiang Xuan's face on the other side seemed to be a little gloomy.

Lu Qingrong turned to ask, "Then don't you have to go on an errand now?" ”

"No, let's wait until you're better." Jiang Xuan's tone became extremely cold.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He has never been an open-mouthed person, and he actually said so much to Lu Qingrong uncharacteristically just now......

And Lu Qingrong also saw his increasingly heavy face, and was wondering in his heart, but Jiang Xuan suddenly stood up.

"I'm going out today, don't wait for me for lunch." Jiang Xuan explained as he walked out.

When he walked to the door, Jiang Xuan's footsteps finally stopped for a moment, and he left the sentence "Come back in the evening" before stepping out of the door.

His change came too quickly, and Lu Qingrong really couldn't understand where he had provoked him.

Is it because he is talking about the Marquis of Jingyuan? If this was the case, then he should have sunken his face a long time ago, instead of suddenly losing his temper after telling her so many antecedents and consequences......

Lu Qingrong couldn't think of a clue for a while.

And not long after Jiang Xuan went out, Luzhu returned to the hall.

"The slave just saw the prince come out of the Yu Courtyard." Seeing that the breakfast on the table was the same as when I went out just now, "Didn't you even have time to use breakfast?" ”

Lu Qingrong shook his head: "Leave him alone, you ask someone to withdraw these first, and I will eat too." ”

Lu Zhu looked at the bowl of yam porridge in front of Lu Qingrong on the table, barely half a bowl, but he didn't say much, and called someone to come in and withdraw breakfast.

"By the way, while the prince is not here today, let's just pack up the things we brought." Lu Qingrong entered the inner room, looked at the slightly empty and deserted furnishings in the room, and instructed Lu Zhu: "Let's move my box of books first, and also bring the Ru kiln azure glazed vase, I don't even have a leaf here, I'm really not used to it, go back and find two bamboos to plug in, and look at it more comfortably." ”

Lu Zhu nodded yes, and was about to go out to get it, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was called back by Lu Qingrong.

"Wait! Do you remember that we seem to have two beaded curtains, and the one with a lot of shells strung on them! Lu Qingrong asked.

Lu Zhu pondered for a long time before remembering: "What are you talking about when we just returned to the capital, the old man gave you the two curtains to decorate the house?" ”

The bead curtain was made of shells of uniform size, and it looked very good to hang, but at the beginning, Lu Qingrong thought that it was jingling when it was gently blown by the wind, and felt that it disturbed the purity, so it was only hung in the Wisteria Pavilion for one day and was put away.

"yes, that's it." Lu Qingrong nodded, and pointed to the two sides of the six-leaf teak carved lotus hollow double-sided screen that separated the inner and outer rooms from the inside, "You find those two curtains and hang them on both sides!"

Lu Zhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, stared at the sides of the screen, and always felt a little weird: "This ...... Can it look good when hung up? ”

"Whether it's good or not is secondary, you just hang it up!" Lu Qingrong was very persistent.

Although he wondered in his heart, Lu Zhu didn't say anything more, and went out to get things according to Lu Qingrong's instructions.

Lu Qingrong was the only one left in the inner room, staring at the screen in a daze at the moment.

When she went to Jingchun Hall for tea in the morning, Mrs. Wu's sentence "open branches and leaves for the Hou Mansion as soon as possible" still lingered in her heart and lingered.

The so-called promises of "not rounding the house for the time being" before did not see Mrs. Wu take any action for this, and today she said such a thing......

The wood is already in the boat, if she really goes back on her word like this, there is really nothing she can do.

Fortunately, although Jiang Xuan sometimes spoke with ridicule, he still respected himself.

I just don't know how long he's going to live in the outer room.

Thinking of the lonely men and widows in the dead of night, whether it is the screen or the bead curtain, it is nothing more than an ornament to prevent a gentleman and not a villain.

Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered the group of pretty girls who came to greet him just now, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, if Jiang Xuan is really ...... You don't have to get along with yourself, right?

In fact, what was going on with those maids just now, Lu Qingrong was still a little unsure at the moment.

Jiang Xuan doesn't have a concubine, that's for sure, but it's hard to say whether there is a room or not.

Shicai's invitation to be safe was very common, but the number of etiquette for the maid to meet the mistress was nothing else, but because of Jiang Xuan's somewhat unclear attitude, Lu Qingrong did not have an accurate score in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seems that it is not easy to be the master mother of this Yuyuan!

At this time, Luzhu had already brought people to bring all the things.

"Found the bamboo so quickly?" Lu Qingrong saw that in the Ruyao vase held by the green bamboo, a few rich bamboos had been inserted, with slender branches and green leaves.

"There is a small conservatory at the back of the Yuyuan, and it happens to have this bamboo."

While responding, Lu Zhu placed the vase on the long table by the window in the inner room, and ordered the little maid who came with him to bring the box of books to the inner room, and hung the two beaded curtains on both sides of the screen before going out.

Lu Qingrong was alone in the room packing up his books, and occasionally looked up to see the vibrant bamboos under the window, and his mood became much better.

Except for half an hour at lunch, Lu Qingrong spent the whole day arranging those books.

Unlike the objects next to her, she was cleaning up and looking through them, and by the time she had finished tidying up, it was already getting dark.

Lu Qingrong was also shocked that it was getting late, and hurriedly called Lu Zhu in: "Is the prince back?" ”

"Not yet, the slave has already asked someone to wait at the gate of the courtyard." Green Bamboo Returns.

"Let's set the meal as soon as the prince comes back." After tossing all day, Lu Qingrong finally became a little hungry.

However, until the time of the day, Jiang Xuan's figure was nowhere to be seen. RS
