Chapter 128: Transformation
Lu Qingrong looked at Lu Qianyu's shy expression, a little confused, but still nodded, indicating that he would not say it.
"I might ...... It's time to get married. Lu Qianyu whispered.
"And with whom? Is the Yin family cousin? Lu Qingrong couldn't hide his surprise, although the words came out, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"It's not! It's not the Yin family's cousin. Lu Qianyu hurriedly denied it, but didn't say who it was.
"Don't sell it to me, who the hell is it?" Lu Qingrong was confused.
"Do you know the second master of the Chengping Marquis Mansion?" Lu Qianyu finally spoke.
"Song Miaoxue, her father?" As soon as Lu Qingrong heard the Chengping Marquis Mansion, the whole person was a little bad, and he didn't hear it clearly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Qianyu corrected her a little anxiously, "Her father is the master of the second room, and the second master I am talking about is Song Shixiang, the second son of Chengping Hou, that is, the second master of the long house!" ”
"Oh." Lu Qingrong tried his best to recall whether he had heard of such a person before, but he really had no impression. remembered that she didn't even want to kiss Yin Zihao before, but at this time, he was so shy and rippling, which was really incomprehensible, "Have you seen him?" ”
Lu Qianyu nodded as expected: "The day before yesterday, I accompanied my mother to the Guangyin Temple outside the city to burn incense, and I met ...... by chance on the back mountain."
"What are you doing in the back mountains?" Lu Qingrong asked directly.
"That day, I was just in time for a lecture by a senior monk in the monastery, my mother burned incense and wanted to listen to the puja, so I begged for a long time before agreeing to let the lotus leaf follow me around the temple. It is said that it is a back mountain, but in fact, it is just in the backyard of Guangyin Temple. ”
"Then how did Song Shixiang get in?" Lu Qingrong asked with a frown. She had also been to the backyard of Guangyin Temple, which was a special place for female pilgrims to rest, otherwise Yin Pingru would not have let Lu Qianyu take a maid to go there.
"I don't know much about this......" Lu Qianyu said truthfully.
"Then how do you know that he is Song Shixiang?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"Naturally, he said it himself." Lu Qianyu recalled: "At that time, it happened that Lotus Ye was not around, I asked her to see if the meeting was over, and suddenly someone came to talk to me, which startled me at first, and then I learned that he recognized the wrong person, so I casually said a few words." As a result, the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion came to the Lu Mansion the next day...... Propose. ”
Lu Qingrong remembered that he had also met her when he entered the mansion just now, so he came to the Lu Mansion one after another, could it be that the family matter had already been decided? Then why didn't my mother reveal it just now?
"Did Mother ask you what you thought this time?" Lu Qingrong asked.
"Not yet, this is what Lotus Ye heard from the maid in the main house......" Lu Qianyu was also worried in her heart, she didn't know why her mother didn't talk to her yet, but she didn't take the initiative to mention it.
In fact, Lu Qianyu's thoughts can be seen as long as you are not blind.
What Lu Qingrong didn't expect was that she had been obsessed with Jiang Ling for some years, and as soon as Song Shixiang appeared, she turned the tables directly, which was a bit too sudden.
Ever since he heard Lu Qianyu's description just now, Lu Qingrong has always felt that something is wrong, and finally reacted at this moment: "You said that Song Shixiang recognized the wrong person at the beginning, who did he recognize you?" ”
"His cousin."
"Isn't that Song Miaoxue!" Lu Qingrong then asked, "Did you see Song Miaoxue that day?" ”
"Nope. Lotus Ye soon came back to say that the meeting was over, so we hurried to find our mother. Lu Qianyu recalled seriously, and didn't feel anything wrong.
Lu Qingrong didn't think so.
Recognize Lu Qianyu as Song Miaoxue, this has to be done by people with bad eyes?
I don't know if it's because of her age, Lu Qianyu is much shorter than Song Miaoxue, and her body is obviously thinner. If you count the appearance, no matter how different the aesthetics are, they should think that Lu Qianyu is better.
So just looking at the fact that Lu Qianyu was mistaken by him for Song Miaoxue and was not angry, you can see that her feelings for Song Shixiang are indeed a little unusual.
Lu Qingrong saw that she could let go of Jiang Ling's affairs so quickly, and she had a new goal, although it was a little difficult to adapt, but she was also a little happy for her in her heart. It's just that listening to the scene of her meeting with Song Shixiang, I always feel that it doesn't seem to be very appropriate......
At this time, Lu Yiduo and Jiang Xuan in the study had not finished a game of chess.
Since Guining played against Jiang Xuan on that day, Lu Yiduo's impression of him has changed a lot.
He didn't see half of the wanton and absurd image in the rumors in the past, and replaced it with a polite Marquis of Jingyuan.
Although he knew that everything could not only be seen on the surface, but this was also the best state he could imagine, after all, Lu Qingrong had already married into the Hou Mansion, and Lu Yiduo subconsciously hoped that Jiang Xuan was a humble and gentle person as he saw in front of him.
"Are you feeling better?" Lu Yiduo broke the tranquility of the study, which was another problem that worried him.
"It's okay." Jiang Xuan said it lightly.
"It's better to still pay attention to it, and it's better to be more careful." Lu Yiduo is still not at ease.
This kind of nagging words of the elders, hearing Jiang Xuan's heart, not only did he not have any impatience, but he felt a trace of warmth.
Although he knew that Lu Yiduo's concern for him was entirely because of Lu Qingrong, it was indeed rare to hear this kind of words in the Hou Mansion over the years.
"You don't have to worry, it's me, no one knows it better than me." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, and then said: "I have been recuperating at home for the past two years because of my health, since there is no big problem now, I can't always stay like this, and I will hand over an excerpt to the emperor in a few days to apply to go back on an errand." ”
As for whether he meant by "errand" or whether he continued to be the companion of the second prince, he did not elaborate.
Lu Yiduo saw that he said what he planned in his heart, and he was a little unexpected: "The errand is secondary, or the body is important!" ”
Jiang Xuan also didn't expect Lu Yiduo to react like this, and at this time he was a little surprised and a little relieved.
After a game, Jiang Xuan finally lost to Lu Yiduo by half a game.
And until he followed Lu Yiduo to the main courtyard for a banquet, Jiang Xuan never mentioned anything related to his official reinstatement.
The family banquet in Lufu officially began at noon.
Unlike Guining as the host and guest on that day, this time Lu Qingrong sat at the table of the ladies with several sisters.
Lu Fangyu arrived in a hurry before the banquet, and Di Qian was a flower explorer in the limelight. And the person who ranks in the top three can directly enter the Hanlin Academy, so he does not need to prepare for the examination of the Kujishi. These days, in addition to the mutual congratulations between the same subjects, it is to deal with the endless stream of people who go to Difu to congratulate, Lu Fangyu is also busy with his feet not touching the ground. Today, it was waiting for Di Qian and Tongke to go and thank the master to come back, so they hurried to the Lu Mansion.
Busy is busy, but whether it is Di Qian's high school or Lu Yiduo's reinstatement, Lu Fangyu is very happy, and he has been smiling irrepressibly while sitting at the banquet.
Lu Qianyu, who was sitting next to Lu Qingrong, was also extremely excited. With the conversation she had just had, she certainly knew the real reason for this.
Just thought that when he met his cousin when he entered the door just now, Yin Zihao, who had always been light and smiling, actually had a straight face, and when he saw her, he just said hello, and stood behind Yin Qinghua expressionlessly, and said no more.
This made Lu Qingrong really unaccustomed to it, but it was not good to say anything more in front of everyone.
And what made her even more unable to adapt was Lu Manyu.
Today's Lu Manyu wore a moon-white plain makeup gown, an aqua blue eight-panel skirt, and her hair bun was also very plain, and she only wore two green jade hollow peach blossom hairpins. The whole person looks unusually delicate. Especially when she didn't have any golden red color all over her body, she looked elegant and steady in her gestures, so that Lu Qingrong didn't even recognize her at first glance.
After seeing that the person in front of him was indeed Lu Manyu, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it seems that this time the second aunt Geng is really out of the way and no longer protects her shortcomings, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot from Mama Chai...... Otherwise, how could Lu Manyu, the most noisy among the Lu family sisters, be trained so quietly.
And Lu Manyu has been strictly abiding by the principle of "eating without speaking" since she sat down until she finished the table, and she didn't say a word.
It wasn't until after the dismissal that he got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion and left the Lu Mansion, and Lu Qingrong still did not recover from her huge contrast.
"When will the matter of choosing a side concubine for the crown prince have a result?" Lu Qingrong felt that Lu Manyu worked so hard, and he had some ambition to win.
"This is really not possible, originally this concubine selection was not according to the convention." Jiang Xuan thought for a while, "But according to my guess, if you really want to enter the East Palace, why do you have to wait for the second prince to get married!" ”
"How long is it going to take?" Lu Qingrong counted the time, it would be at least a few months away.
"I will definitely have to wait to enter the palace, but the candidate should be determined earlier!" Jiang Xuan then asked, "Why do you suddenly care about this again?" ”
"Seeing my third sister today, I actually feel like I've been reborn." Lu Qingrong sighed with emotion, "I used to think that her character was afraid that she would not be able to handle the life of the prince*, but now it seems that I may be too worried...... Mama Chai is really amazing, she has achieved such great results in such a short period of time. ”
"Didn't you also learn from her at the beginning, why didn't you see any changes?" Jiang Xuan smiled.
"How do you know what I used to be?" Lu Qingrong himself felt that there was some coquettishness in his words, and his face suddenly turned slightly red.
The smile on Jiang Xuan's face was even stronger, but he picked up the topic just now: "The days of the East Palace are not something that can be lived by learning the rules for a few days. If it's really for her good, you should still hope that she doesn't choose. ”
Lu Qingrong looked at Jiang Xuan, seeing that his expression was very serious, not like he was joking. In fact, she didn't know this, but although her relationship with Lu Manyu was not very close since she was a child, she always didn't want her to have a hard time.
At this time, Lu Qingrong suddenly thought of what Lu Qianyu said in the Wisteria Pavilion today, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Song Shixiang from the Chengping Mansion?" ”RS
