Chapter 129: Hidden Worries
"You mean the younger brother of Song Shiji, the son of the Marquis of Chengping?" Jiang Xuan's expression was a little weird, "Why did you suddenly think of him?" ”
"I heard the name mentioned by chance." Lu Qingrong responded vaguely.
"I've seen it, but I haven't spoken much, and on outside occasions, Song Shiji usually comes forward, and it's rare to see Song Shixiang." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, "After all, he is a concubine, which is also normal." ”
Only then did Lu Qingrong know that he was the concubine of the Marquis of Chengping, and blurted out: "Do you know how he is?" ”
"Why, you have never talked about him in the women's school of the Yanguo Mansion?" Jiang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Nope." Lu Qingrong told the truth.
"Shouldn't it?" Jiang Xuan was a little unconvinced.
"Why do you say that?" Lu Qingrong became more and more puzzled.
"If you ask me to evaluate Song Shixiang, then I can only say...... He's good-looking. Jiang Xuan didn't seem to be joking.
"I wanted to ask him how he was and how he looked like." Lu Qingrong had a bad premonition.
"I also want to focus on his merits first." Jiang Xuan didn't care much.
"And what other virtues does he have?"
"I don't know."
Lu Qingrong saw that Jiang Xuan didn't want to talk more, and his heart began to be a little anxious.
"That's the case, these days, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion has come to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage, just for Song Shixiang, and wants to ask to marry my third sister." Lu Qingrong had no choice but to tell the truth.
"And your mother agreed?"
"I don't know about this, my mother didn't mention it to me originally, I listened to the third sister." Lu Qingrong explained.
"So, your third sister is still a little willing?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help frowning, "Has she seen Song Shixiang?" ”
"Yes." Lu Qingrong felt that Jiang Xuan's expression was inappropriate, and no longer concealed it, "A few days ago, my second sister accompanied my mother to Guangyin Temple to burn incense, and I met him by chance in the temple, and it is said that he mistakenly recognized my second sister as someone else......
"It's just so normal." Jiang Xuan was not surprised, "He doesn't know how many people he has to admit mistakes every day!" ”
"Huh?" Lu Qingrong wasn't sure if his understanding was correct.
"Now the Chengping Marquis Mansion has long become a joke in the capital, and the reputation accumulated by the old Marquis has been ruined. Today's Chengping Hou was originally taking the entire house to eat the old book, but all of them are in a posture of having wine and getting drunk today, especially the following generation, Song Shiji, the son of Chengping Hou, and the Song Shixiang you said about Song Shixiang has long been out of the blue. In the Cuiliu Lane in the south of the city, the most famous are the two brothers! ”
Cuiliu Lane, when Lu Qingrong heard the name, he didn't need to ask to know what place it was.
She just couldn't figure it out, if it was really as exaggerated as Jiang Xuan said, why had she and Lu Qianyu never heard of it before?
But soon realized that in the women's school, it was Song Miaoxue who provoked these rumors every time, and those two people were her cousins......
I see.
"I don't know if my mother knows about these things......" Lu Qingrong whispered to himself.
"You don't have to worry about this, you should know it." Jiang Xuan was very sure, "Even if I didn't know it before, now that the proposer has come to the door, I will naturally inquire about it, this is not a secret at all, and it is impossible not to inquire about it." ”
Lu Qingrong felt a little relieved, but he still secretly decided that he still had to inform his mother.
"Can I go to Lu Mansion again tomorrow?" She looked at Jiang Xuan and asked.
"I think it's better to forget it, the Hou Mansion doesn't care about it for the time being, just saying that the people in the Lu Mansion have seen you running back for three days, and it's not good to spread it." Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, "Otherwise, if you have anything to say to your mother, you can write a letter, and I will ask Mo Nan or Yan Bei to personally send it." ”
Lu Qingrong was stunned for a moment, remembering that these two people were serving in Jiang Xuan's study, so he nodded.
As soon as he returned to the Yu Courtyard, Lu Qingrong went straight to the inner room, intending to start writing letters.
Jiang Xuan stood in the outer room of the inner room, waiting for Lu Qingrong in the inner room to finish writing before ordering someone to deliver the letter.
And when Lu Qingrong entered the inner room, Chunyu was there to help her pack up her clothes, and the weather has been getting warmer recently, and many thick clothes have to be put away.
Seeing Lu Qingrong coming back at this time, Chunyu knew that she had always disliked people dangling in front of her, so she hurriedly packed up a few clothes at hand, picked them up and planned to leave the inner room.
It's just that when she walked to the table and saw the handkerchief she had embroidered again, she finally didn't hold back and stopped.
"Madam, can this veil be embroidered?" I heard footsteps before the spring rain, and knew that Jiang Xuan was outside at this time, so he lowered his voice very low.
"Well, that's good." Lu Qingrong was still thinking about writing a letter in his heart, and he just responded casually at this time.
"If Madame thinks it's not good there, the slave can embroider another one!" Chunyu hasn't given up on this topic yet.
In fact, when Lu Qingrong instructed her to embroider a handkerchief, although he only said that she should embroider plain and suitable for men to carry, he did not say who he would give it to specifically. But she's not stupid, it's obvious that she wants to embroider it for the prince. So she designed the pattern with extra care, and it was enough to embroider a handkerchief for half a day, but she was stunned that it took several days to complete. It's just that I didn't expect it to be given to Mrs. for some days, but Mrs. just put it in the middle room.
Knowing that when she came in to sort out her wife's clothes today, she saw another handkerchief in the outer room where Jiang Xuan lived, which looked a little similar to her own at first glance, but if she looked closely, she didn't dare to compliment......
It turned out that the lady finally embroidered it for the prince herself, so isn't she busy buying work these days?
How did Lu Qingrong know these twists and turns in her heart.
"No need." Lu Qingrong picked up the handkerchief on the table and casually put it on top of the stack of clothes that Chunyu was holding, "I can't use this for the time being, let's take it together first." ”
Chunyu was even more depressed at this time, but he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly answered and walked out of the room.
When she got to the outside room, when she walked behind Jiang Xuan, who was standing by the window, she suddenly had an idea, her arm shook slightly, and the clothes on it were all scattered all over the ground, especially the handkerchief, which fell at Jiang Xuan's feet impartially.
Jiang Xuan turned around when he heard the sound.
Seeing the clothes scattered on the ground, he just quietly watched Chunyu pick them up one by one.
And just as he turned around, he accidentally stepped on the veil under his feet.
Chunyu glanced at the handkerchief, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xuan, his eyes looked extremely pitiful.
Seeing her look, Jiang Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly, and subconsciously looked at the bead curtain on the other side of the room.
And Lu Qingrong just heard the movement, and at this time, he just came out of the curtain, which happened to be opposite Jiang Xuan's line of sight.
Lu Qingrong naturally noticed the strangeness of the spring rain.
She didn't notice it just now, firstly, because she was thinking about writing a letter to her mother, and secondly, she really didn't think about it.
Seeing the scene in front of him at this moment, Lu Qingrong, who has been a man in two lives, will really live in vain if he doesn't know what Chunyu wants to do.
It's just that she didn't say anything, but stood there quietly, waiting to see how Jiang Xuan planned to respond.
Jiang Xuan also retracted his gaze at this time, looked down at the handkerchief under his feet, and then leaned over to pick it up.
When I saw the spring rain, I couldn't hide my joy. The handkerchief I embroidered is more delicate than that of Mrs. I don't know how many times, as long as the prince is willing to take a look, he will definitely like it.
Jiang Xuan did take the handkerchief and looked at it for a while, and found that it was the one he had seen at Lu Qingrong before, and he vaguely remembered that she said that it was a maid embroidered by a maid named Rain.
"You...... Is it spring rain? Jiang Xuan slowly opened his mouth, and there was no emotion in his voice.
When the spring rain heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
She really didn't expect the prince to call out her name directly, and hurriedly responded shyly: "The slave is the spring rain." ”
Jiang Xuan didn't look at her again, put the handkerchief on the clothes in her hand, and commanded: "This was stepped on by me just now, there are so many handkerchiefs in the Yu Courtyard, since this is already dirty, just throw it away!" ”
Chunyu stood directly on the spot.
Jiang Xuan's reaction was completely unexpected, at this time she couldn't help but turn red, she wanted to admit her mistake and explain, but she didn't know how to speak.
However, Jiang Xuan had already turned around and faced out of the window again, directly ignoring her storage.
Although Chunyu was helpless and puzzled, he could only quietly exit the inner room.
Lu Qingrong only came over at this time and stood beside Jiang Xuan.
"It's a good veil, just throw it away!" Lu Qingrong said this urgently, but with a smile that he couldn't hide no matter what.
"So Madame is reluctant?" Jiang Xuan pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "You wait, I'll go and chase it back for you!" ”
said, and looked like he was really going to leave.
Lu Qingrong was originally just joking, but now seeing him like this, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, but it bounced away like a hot hand in an instant.
Jiang Xuan naturally wouldn't really go out to chase after him, so he stopped in his tracks.
"There are some things that should be thrown away, and they are left useless to occupy the space, and if they are not good, they will add to the chaos." Jiang Xuan suddenly put away his smile and became a little stern.
Lu Qingrong also heard what he meant.
"Let me think about it." Lu Qingrong said softly.
Jiang Xuan didn't say anything more, just sighed softly, thinking in his heart that although Lu Qingrong often said things that surprised him, he seemed to be very mature, but he was still a child after all......
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the house.
A moment later, Lilac stumbled into the inner chamber, her hair unkempt and her clothes disheveled, presumably pulled outside during the uproar just now.
Ding Xiang was a little surprised at first when she saw Jiang Xuan also in the house, and then knelt in front of Lu Qingrong regardless of it.
"Madame! Please be gracious, don't let the slave go to Zhuangzi, the slave is willing to repay the lady as a cow and a horse for the rest of her life! ”RS
