Chapter 209: Before leaving
In the early morning, until dawn, the inner room gradually reflected some light.
Looking at the small lamp next to the bed, Jiang Xuan's heart suddenly softened.
remembered that last night, Lu Qingrong insisted on blowing out the lights...... Later, when it was over, Jiang Xuan was about to light the lamp again, but Lu Qingrong still refused to let her, asking her why she was not afraid of the dark, and she didn't say anything, anyway, he was not allowed to light the lamp......
Jiang Xuan's heart was complicated and sweet, staring at the small figure lying inside, and he didn't look away for a long time.
At this time, Lu Qingrong wore his white bedclothes neatly and neatly, and one arm was gently placed on Jiang Xuan's waist. Her breathing was so light that she had to be very close to feel the gentle touch.
It took a long time before Jiang Xuan withdrew his gaze from her face that seemed to be congealed and flushed.
He really didn't want to wake up Lu Qingrong. She didn't know what happened last night, she couldn't sleep until late, and kept tossing and turning. So the octopus on Jiang Xuan's body changed for a while, making it even more difficult for him to sleep. knew that she was unintentional, but she was rubbed around from time to time, and she was also uncomfortable, taking care of her new experience, she could only endure it no matter what......
First withdrawing his arm from under her head gently, Jiang Xuan crept up and went to the outer room.
The sound of the bead curtain falling was extremely soft, but Lu Qingrong immediately opened his eyes.
As early as when Jiang Xuan carefully removed her hand from his waist, Lu Qingrong had already woken up.
It's just that after the night, not only did she completely regain her senses, but the energy that had become extraordinarily brave because of alcohol also disappeared.
She doesn't regret the outcome of the incident, but recalling her words and deeds last night, she only hopes that there will be a crack in this house, which should be a good place to stay......
Lu Qingrong continued to pretend to be asleep while shrinking into the quilt, while paying attention to the movement outside.
I only heard that as soon as Jiang Xuan arrived outside, he softly called Luzhu to come in, and said for a long time, as for what he was talking about, he couldn't hear it clearly anyway.
After a stick of incense, Lu Qingrong was sure that Jiang Xuan had been walking for a long time, and finally got up slowly.
First, he stood in front of the bronze mirror, checked up and down, and then called Luzhu in.
Lu Qingrong first looked outside, glanced at Luzhu, and tried his best to be the same as usual.
Lu Zhu understood and replied: "The prince is not outside, he just changed his clothes and went to the study." ”
Only then did Lu Qingrong settle down and let Luzhu help him freshen up and change his clothes.
was combing his hair, Lu Qingrong realized from the mirror that Luzhu looked like he had something in his heart and wanted to speak. Xu was the way she looked last night, which made her worried. Lu Qingrong was secretly a little apologetic.
"I forgot you called me earlier. Tomorrow morning, the prince will set off, and everyone will go to Jingchun Hall to sit in a while. Don't be too casual with your hair today. Lu Qingrong opened his mouth first.
"Hmm." Lu Zhu responded: "The slave and maid remember this, but just now the prince specially instructed him not to let you quarrel with you." ”
When Lu Qingrong heard this, his face was hot, and he didn't answer again.
Luzhu was originally a little worried about Lu Qingrong, but seeing that there was nothing wrong with her appearance in the morning, he put his mind at ease. At this time, what was echoing in her mind was the words that the prince said in the morning.
first told her not to rush to serve her wife to get up, and then repeatedly instructed her not to let her drink alcohol in the future......
Until this moment, Luzhu still felt a little weird. In the eyes of the maids and daughters-in-law of the Yuyuan, Jiang Xuan was very unsmiling, and occasionally ordered things, all of which were simple and clear, and she couldn't say a few words in total.
Thinking about these in his heart, the movements of Lu Zhu's hand did not stop, and after a while, he combed a Lingyun bun for Lu Qingrong.
Lu Qingrong picked out a set of light green Hetian jade head, changed into a moon-white bamboo pattern collar jacket, and wore a comprehensive skirt of the same color.
Seeing that the time to go to Jingchun Hall was approaching, Jiang Xuan never came back.
This has to be put on hold in normal times, so Lu Qingrong went to the study to find him and passed it together.
Today's situation...... Lu Qingrong waited until the end, only had a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and then led the green bamboo to Jingchun Hall alone.
Lu Qingrong came very late, and at this time, except for Jiang Xuan, the rest of the people had already arrived.
At the top of the main seat of the hall sat Marquis Jingyuan and Mrs. Wu, and on the right side of the lower head, there were several people from Fengyuan, first Jiang Ke, who was refreshed, then Qiu Jinting, who was pregnant with Liujia, and Tang Shan, who did not squint. He Qingwan also rushed back early in the morning, and was accompanying Qiu Jinting every inch at the moment.
Seeing that Lu Qingrong came over alone, several female dependents led by Mrs. Wu inevitably had some thoughts of watching a good show.
Even Jiang Ke's gaze at Lu Qingrong had a hint of pity.
Only Marquis Jing Yuan, who didn't react, only nodded slightly when Lu Qingrong asked for peace.
I don't know if it's because of the spring climate, Marquis Jingyuan's complexion looks quite good, but Rao is like this, and no one dares to mention Jiang Xuan's going to go on an expedition to him.
Lu Qingrong had just taken a seat on the other side when Jiang Xuan hurried over.
He first glanced at Lu Qingrong with a slight apology, and then asked the two on the throne to say goodbye.
Today's spirit of Marquis Jingyuan is indeed extraordinarily good, and after a while, he asked Jiang Xuan how his recent errands were, and then turned to Jiang Ke, saying that although the deputy commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division is not an important position, he still needs to be treated solemnly, and he must not lose the face of the Hou Mansion.
In this situation, if you see Jingyuan Marquis for the first time, you will definitely feel that he is no different from ordinary people.
The words of Jingyuanhou's instructions were out of control, and they talked endlessly.
The people sitting below all looked respectful on the surface, and their hearts had already wandered.
Qiu Jinting really got more and more annoyed the more he listened.
Yesterday, she was depressed all night, and before the morning came, she had already vomited bitter water to He Qingwan for a long time. He Qingwan listened absent-mindedly, but the words that prevaricated her came easily, what "don't be in a hurry", what "see who has the last laugh" and so on, Qiu Jinting's originally somewhat relaxed face frowned again when he heard her say "the heir is a big thing".
At this moment, listening to the words of Marquis Jingyuan and Jiang Ke, his heart became more and more irritable.
However, Tang Shan, who was sitting under her, was also shaking her head.
Tang Shan was still a little scared at the moment. Yesterday, Jiang Ke went to her house drunk and said something like "If I become Marquis of Jingyuan in the future, you will be Mrs. Hou", which scared her enough. It's not that she didn't have this thought, she knew that she had bumped into the wrong person in the study of Yuyuan, and she really regretted it for a long time...... But it's good to think about this kind of thing in your heart, now that Jiang Xuan is there, these words can only rot in his heart, how can he drink a drink and shout nonsense! Tang Shan was always afraid of being listened to by someone with a heart, and her heart was not very steady.
However, at this time, in the hall, the happiest person in his heart should be He Qingwan.
Since she got Qiu Muyun's assurance in Hefu last night, she couldn't help but be fascinated by all kinds of feelings, and she looked confident, and when she saw Jiang Xuan again, she couldn't help but stare at it, with tenderness between her eyebrows.
Mrs. Wu, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't have time to pay attention to her chaotic eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Wu's eyes kept wandering over Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan.
As soon as Jiang Xuan entered the door, she already sensed that something was wrong, and then the two of them kept casting flattering glances, and the other insisted on turning a blind eye. She herself and Marquis Jing Yuan have not lived the days of Qin Se and Ming, and the meaning revealed by those eyes can be seen by a discerning person.
Lu Qingrong didn't care about Mrs. Wu's inquiring eyes, but he also pretended not to know, and only listened respectfully to Jingyuanhou's "Chunchun's teachings", and at the same time noticed that there was still only Aunt Wei who was following Jingyuanhou today. Since the day of the Spring Festival sacrifice, Aunt Chen lost her honor in the ancestral hall, knocking her head on Mrs. Jiang's tablet like crazy, and she has not been seen again for more than two months......
Marquis Jingyuan finally said that he had enough, and he wanted to keep everyone here to eat.
Mrs. Wu immediately answered: "The two children still have errands to do, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay until noon." ”
Jiang Ke immediately responded, and said something along the way, "Let my father have a good life and recuperate".
Just as everyone was about to say goodbye, Mrs. Wu suddenly said to Lu Qingrong: "I don't know if it's because it's hot, my body is extremely tired, and I want you to continue to help me take care of the family's affairs, okay?" ”
Lu Qingrong was very surprised, she had been taught to manage the accounts of Jingchun Hall and the mansion for a while, but then the mansion was for the New Year and a happy event, so it was gradually put on hold. I don't know if it's because of the slightly shabby New Year's gift that she sent to the Anle Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wu didn't even mention the matter of letting her take care of things, how can she ...... now
Lu Qingrong didn't think much about it, and directly agreed.
First, she is the wife of the prince, which is a matter of duty; Second, Jiang Xuan is leaving, she really needs something to distract her. No matter what Mrs. Wu had in mind, she would not be afraid.
Seeing that she responded so quickly, Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction and did not say anything more.
When Marquis Jingyuan was helped back to the house by Aunt Wei, everyone dispersed.
Back at Qinyi Courtyard, Lu's mother couldn't bear it at first, and while serving the tea, she asked, "Madam, what do you mean by this?" ”
Mrs. Wu took the tea, took a sip first, and then said slowly: "It's not bad to let her come out from time to time to take care of things!" If she has been nesting in Yuyuan like this, it will be difficult for us to control it...... Although some of our people in Yuyuan are still left, they are all useless! Look at these days, how can there be any decent news coming in? ”
Mother Lu nodded, she also found out, but she always felt that handing over the power of the family to Lu Qingrong was always dangerous. Seeing Mrs. Wu's disapproving face, she couldn't say more, but she remembered another thing: "In Jingchun Hall just now, the prince and Mrs. Shizi looked a little wrong. It is said that they came back very late yesterday, and today their faces are obviously not as comfortable as usual...... Seeing that the prince is about to go on the expedition, everyone is safe, but this time there is such a branch, in case she has a ......"
"Hmph." A laugh came out of Mrs. Wu's nose, interrupting Lu's mother's words, "I see that you are also blindly worried!" But just once or twice, she was so young, how could it be so easy to have a ...... Let them go! What's more, he can't come back in ten days and a half months, if it's really that coincidental, it's not all up to us how we act! ”
"It's still the lady who is calm, but the slave is a little dizzy." Mother Lu's words are sincere.
"We have more important things, we are going to go on an expedition over there, and we can't be idle!" Mrs. Wu sneered, "How did you inquire about what you said last time?" ”
Mother Lu hurriedly replied: "After inquiring, the Yin family of Lu Mansion is a person who believes in Buddhism, and he will go to Guangyin Temple to burn incense every fifteenth. The slave maid thinks that if we want to start from the Yin family, it is perfect to go to Guangyin Temple to meet us! ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, "I also heard that Lu Yiduo's backyard has been the only Yin family for many years, and it is always right to start with her!" ”
The more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more proud she became.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth, it is the day when Jiang Xuan goes on the expedition, and then he will go to Guangyin Temple to meet Yin Pingru, no matter what he says, Jiang Xuan has no chance to refute himself...... R1152
