Chapter 249: Reunion
Lu Qingrong had thought about finding a place for Cai Mei and Cai Lian a long time ago, but he never found a suitable place.
Now that she heard Jiang Xuan say the words "drive away", she explained: "It's not that I haven't moved this thought, it's just that they are like this, it's really hard to find a place to go, and I have no grudges with others, I really can't bear to give it to anyone...... It's better to let them stay in Yuyuan for a while longer, and then polish this competitive temperament first. ”
"Your heart is too soft, I don't think they have this kind of creation." Jiang Xuan said bluntly, and then smiled: "Look at what kind of mess it was just now!" Just to pretend to be pitiful once, I can starve myself into that ghostly look, and it is estimated that those scenes in the pear orchard are not as ruthless as theirs. ”
Lu Qingrong watched Jiang Xuan speak, and was a little distracted, thinking that he hadn't seen him for so long, and he didn't even feel the slightest sense of rustiness.
When she came back to her senses, she found that Jiang Xuan hadn't spoken for a long time, just staring at herself quietly, a little at a loss, and she began to have nothing to say.
But although they are bent on sowing discord, they are not all nonsense. From the hour to the clothes, it should have been when I went out with Luzhu, and we didn't find them at all, so it was not wrong for them to say that they only saw the back. ”
Jiang Xuan smiled but did not speak, staring at Lu Qingrong's eyes remained unchanged.
Lu Qingrong coughed lightly and stood up: "Go and change your clothes, you must be tired after wearing such a heavy suit and tossing for a long time!" ”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan was extremely cooperative, and immediately got up and returned to the inner room, and entered the clean room alone.
This time, he changed his clothes by himself, and he didn't let the maid serve, but also blocked Lu Qingrong, who was following behind, outside.
Lu Qingrong didn't have the habit of watching him change clothes, so he didn't think much about it at this time, and sat directly on the agarwood arhat bed outside and waited for him.
After a while, I saw Jiang Xuan change his clothes and walk out.
Wearing a moon-white brocade robe, his hair was simply tied up, compared with the military uniform just now, he looked extremely refreshed and much more relaxed.
Lu Qingrong looked at Jiang Xuan and didn't look away.
But Jiang Xuan stared at the agarwood arhat bed she was sitting on, and looked at it for a long time, and the smile on her face deepened.
Lu Qingrong noticed his strangeness, lowered his head and swept around, and blushed again.
Except for the two nights before Jiang Xuan's departure, he had been sleeping on the Luohan bed in the outer room for the rest of the time, and at that time, in order to make it easier to make the bed at night, he simply put on a thin layer of cotton pads during the day.
And look at the current agarwood arhat bed, covered with thick cushions, there is also a small mahogany table in the middle, on which a bronze incense burner and a small lamp are placed, and around the seats on both sides, there are also four or five red embroidered plum blossom cushions, which are full.
These days, Lu Qingrong often sits here to read books or embroider handkerchiefs.
Yesterday, Lu Zhu specially asked her, the prince is going back to the house, do you want to clean up this Luohan bed, Lu Qingrong struggled for a long time, and he didn't give a word, and Lu Zhu didn't clean it up, so he left it as it is until now.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan obviously saw something else.
But after all, he didn't ask anything, and Lu Qingrong was embarrassed to take the initiative to say anything.
Jiang Xuan quickly returned to normal, tried not to smile too obviously, sat on the other end of the Luohan bed, and asked instead, "Where did you get the clothes today?" I almost didn't even recognize you! ”
"Green bamboo helped prepare it. But to be honest, it's strange that you recognize me, I thought you wouldn't have found my ......."
"How is that possible!" Jiang Xuan laughed, "Do you think that if you dress the same color as the curtains, I won't be able to see it?" ”
"I didn't mean it, and I didn't know what color the curtain of the teahouse was." Lu Qingrong explained, and suddenly remembered something again, "In the morning, I also saw my second cousin, in the private room across the street, wearing a pink dress, which is quite conspicuous, can you see it?" ”
"I didn't pay attention." Jiang Xuan said directly, then frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Speaking of Jiang Huijuan, Lu Qingrong really didn't know what to say, so he simply changed the topic.
"You said you had something to tell me?" Lu Qingrong remembered what Jiang Xuan said when he sent Chang Gonggong away just now.
"There's something." Jiang Xuan's smile gradually narrowed, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I'm afraid that if I don't inform you in advance, it will be even ......worse if you hear it from elsewhere."
Jiang Xuan was rambling, Lu Qingrong couldn't wait, so he simply asked directly, "What has to do with the carriage behind Mr. Chu and them?" ”
Jiang Xuan was stunned.
"You can't have heard someone chewing on the root of their tongue, have you?" He asked, a little worried.
"Not really, I saw it myself." Lu Qingrong recalled, "Although the carriage was black on the outside, it seemed to be full of fat powder on the inside, and the person who wanted to sit in it was a young woman." ”
"Indeed, I picked it up on the side of the road when I was about to arrive at Suncheonfu." Jiang Xuan told the truth.
"Roadside? Picked up? Lu Qingrong was not displeased, only surprised.
At that time, the road of the march was very desolate, there was no village in front of the village, there was no shop in the back, she stood alone on the side of the road, with a maid, saying that she had encountered robbers, and all the silver on her body was robbed, and she was helpless. He also said that he had planned to go to Beijing to join his relatives, but now he was entangled and lost, and even the letters were robbed, and he begged us to take them for a while. ”
"You believe it?" Lu Qingrong felt incredible.
"Of course not!" Jiang Xuan's tone was firm, "I didn't believe half of it from the beginning. In addition, when she came to Shuntian Mansion later, she once sent a letter to her relatives in the capital, but there was no reply......"
"And what about her now?" Lu Qingrong felt that this matter was very strange.
"Helped her rent a second-entry house in Muxi Hutong, and Cui Yan sent someone to help settle it." Jiang Xuan said truthfully.
"If you know that there is a ghost, why did you pick her up and even help her find a place to live?" Lu Qingrong always felt that things were not so simple.
"I will never step into that house for half a step, don't worry." Jiang Xuan suddenly said this.
Lu Qingrong saw that he didn't care, and he didn't care about being embarrassed, and continued to wait for his statement.
"It's because I know that there are ghosts that I can't let her go like this. Otherwise, how to know who is behind this! Jiang Xuan continued: "I want to see who is plotting against us behind our backs." Someone has been sent to keep an eye on it, and it is estimated that he will know soon. ”
Lu Qingrong was not very optimistic, and couldn't help but think wildly: "Is this good?" After all, she doesn't know any of her details, in case someone deliberately frames us and makes an orphan from the previous dynasty come out, we will have a hard time arguing! ”
"Haha! You can really think about it! Jiang Xuan laughed for a while before he couldn't help it, "Don't worry, as far as she behaves, everyone's hope is very slim, not to mention the orphans of the previous dynasty...... If I insist on having her involved with me, I will at most add a hat of 'misconduct', and besides......" Jiang Xuan touched his nose slightly embarrassed, "This is not the first time. ”
Thinking of the misunderstandings Jiang Xuan had received before, Lu Qingrong felt a little distressed in his heart.
Jiang Xuan himself looked indifferent: "As long as you know that it's not true, it's enough." ”
Lu Qingrong couldn't help but be moved.
The two reunited, and at this time they were alone again, and time flew by.
In the evening, when it was time to eat, Jiang Ke came over once in the middle, and Jiang Xuan came back after going out with a stick of incense.
"Just said congratulations and nothing else." Jiang Xuan explained.
Lu Qingrong didn't say much.
It wasn't until after dinner that she probably told Jiang Xuan about Qiu Jinting's child's premature death.
"Born at the end of May?" Although Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong had a premonition of something early on, they were still a little surprised, "You mean, Wen Po and the nurse were both found by Jiang Ke?" ”
Lu Qingrong nodded.
Jiang Xuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he always felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he had no clue.
After that, Lu Qingrong told him everything in these days, from Lu Qianyu's marriage, to her entering the palace to visit Lu Manyu, and then to King Jing's marriage to a side concubine...... And what is particularly detailed in it is about Napazi, He Qingwan finally married Song Shixiang.
She mainly wanted to sue Jiang Xuan, and Sun Yiming helped a lot in this matter.
Jiang Xuan remembered it in his heart, and at the same time sighed: "Fortunately, Jiang Ling reminded me, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have written to tell you that you lost your veil......"
Lu Qingrong didn't know about Jiang Ling's reminder, but after all, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no need for much discussion.
Jiang Xuan didn't even plan to continue, but suddenly asked, "Speaking of the handkerchief, can my new handkerchief be embroidered?" ”
Lu Qingrong immediately got up, went to the embroidered basket in the inner room, took out a white handkerchief, and stuffed it into Jiang Xuan's hand: "It's all yours!" ”
Jiang Xuan looked at the dozen or so handkerchiefs in his hand, all of which were embroidered with dark patterns of bamboo leaves of the same color, which were no different from the previous handkerchiefs.
"So much?" Jiang Xuan was stunned.
"Hmm." Lu Qingrong nodded silently.
When Jiang Xuan was rumored to be missing, she was very confused, she couldn't do anything, and she embroidered a handkerchief when she was nervous......
Jiang Xuan first put these brains on the small table in the middle of the Luohan bed, picked them up one by one, looked at them carefully, and smiled more and more: "It's rare that you have embroidered so much, and you can still not change at all." ”
"I'm really not good at this...... I'm afraid I'll embroider for the rest of my life, and that's it. Lu Qingrong said with a sad face.
"I'm still used to using this kind of embroidery, but now when I see those Seiko Su embroidery, don't mention how awkward it is......," Jiang Xuan said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Qingrong always felt that he was making fun of himself.
Jiang Xuan said: "I mean, let me only use the handkerchief you embroidered for the rest of my life, and there will be no problem at all." ”R1152
